      We’re very similar in many ways but we obviously have our differences.

      1) Monkeys don’t tend to walk on two legs like we do.

      2) They’re alot stronger than us even though we have similar muscles in similar places. We think it might be because they evolved needing more power while we evolved needing more speed.

      3) They don’t think as much as we do. Don’t get me wrong monkeys are smart but its on a different level. For example monkeys don’t really have conversations and as far as we can tell they don’t really think about ideas like world domination more like where’s my banana.

      So we’re not all that different but there are some big differences. Now where’s my chocolate bar.

      Thomas has given some good answers. Another big difference is that we have more control of our vocal cords, which means we can talk and communicate better. This was probably very useful when we started to build communities. But probably one of the main differences is our intelligence
