Yes but OP is right, primates pre-date us so anything we do similarly, they did it first and we copied them.

We didn’t copy, we are an extended branch of their abilities.

Which primates? Chimpanzees? They evolved from earlier primates too.

Yes, chimps also exhibit traits of even earlier primates.

Chimps didn’t exist when homo erectus appeared.

Still doesn’t seem like you’re getting my point.

Well i meant homo sapiens maybe i was misusing the word humans, but erectus is a different species than us.
