Evidence that scientists have collected over the decades show that there are some physical and behavioral characteristics that primates and humans share. And that the fossils that scientists have found in Africa regarding early man, show that there was a evolutionary split between early man and ape about eight to six million years ago. From what science tells us, Humans are primates.

Genetically and physically modern man is especially closely
