Its called convergent evolution and you also have some shit you wouldnt believe that makes all apes similar to us.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago

Apes are so similar to us because we came from a common ancestor. I'd love to hear if there are traits we evolved independently after we split though.

I'm more of a middling ape myself honestly

Look we cannot compare outselves to the gorilla gorilla, they are the greatest ape, but that does not mean you are not also great
