They are not expected to shave before they go to work. Thats about it.

Answer 2

takes care of other animals (and community)

complex languages

apes

1:200 (gorilla) and 1:129 (chimp) braincase

large muscles of mastication

sagital creast fr muscle attachments

larger canine teetch

foramen magnum-posterior in braincase

quadruped gait

tumb with less opposition; no saddle joint

Answer 3

1. Humans unlike other primates insist on livingin suburbs where almost nothing is within walking distance.

2. I think we are the only species on earth for which the catholic church has determined littering as a mortal sin. Chimps can defecate anywhere they are. If we throw a gum wrapper on the sidewalk we are doomed to eternity in a lake of fire.

3. While the great apes are content to stride around on the first and second knuckles, we require Escalades, Navigators and Hummers.

4. Lower primates have an actual social structure, while we go mental if we find out some other group has more oil than we do

5. One of our unique anatomical structures is called a wallet. When we feel like we are not getting enough s*x, we reach for our wallet and if we are not too ugly, someone will likely have s*x with us for its contents. Refer to gubinitorial history of New York State.. The nose is another unique feature. Most creatures use them to smell stuff. We humans have noses so we can stick them in everyone else's business. We are noted for our opposable thumbs, but mostly we just use them for eye gouging in ultimate fighting exhibitions.

Answer 5

Locomotion.

Answer 6

The human brain is more complicated than the rest of the universe combined. Man is the only creature, as far as we know, that even contemplates the universe.

Man has an opposable thumb.

Man has a highly developed language and the ability to write using an alphabet.

Man has the ability to compose music that others can play on instruments.

Man has distributed and assimilated to the farthest reaches of the planet under a wide variety of temperature extremes as well as adapted and developed means to travel underwater, in the air and outer space.
