Humans are part of the biological group known as primates. We sure are an unusual species of primate, though!
Primates include lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, and apes – a group of species that is well known for being social, smart, and very adept at using their hands. They are also very vocal and communicative with the members of their social group. And they move around in a wide variety of ways, including sometimes on two legs.
Remind you of anyone?
We invite you to enjoy the most unusual primate of all!

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

There is a lot of stuff out there about human evolution. The science deniers have to go out of their way to know nothing about it. This is from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
