Can you see that we evolved from primates?

Can't be human without being a primate.

Now, I understand that that is true, and kinda how it is true, but I can't seem to form a clear sentence explaining it. Would anyone knowledgeable concerning this subject be willing to explain this in actual precise terms, please?

Do you agree that housecats and lions are both felines? That burros and horses are both equines? These are true because of a large number of shared characteristics. These characteristics are inherited, not accidental. In the same way, we and gorillas are both primates. Though we have differences, the overwhelming number of characteristics are shared due to common ancestry.
