You should have paid attention at high school, maybe then you wouldn't be coming up with such inane questions.

Humans may not be a different species but we are different than apes, since we evolved since we were apes.

It's likely all species of ape are evolving.
It was just demonstrated in the thread from three different members that we are apes.
Not "different"...not "were." Well maybe "were," but also still are.

Oh yes science does say that but I am not going to waste my time on this conversation.
Been there, done that. There was a thread some time ago where the differences between apes and humans was discussed, and it had nothing to do with religion.

Do you notice the word other?
"How are Dysons different from other vacuum cleaners?" does not mean Dysons aren't vacuum cleaners.Oh yes science does say that but I am not going to waste my time on this conversation.

So what? I do not care if we are 'classified' as great apes. We are still different from the great apes.

No, the other great apes. That is what your link said, so that is the evidence you provided yourself.

Can you understand plain English?
It does not MATTER to me how we are classified.
Can you make a point without being condescending?
And then you qualified that statement with...
Which is entirely inaccurate given we are great apes.

Yes, and you are clearly ignoring the word "other." That means humans are great apes, but different from other great apes.No, the link said:
