Final answer:

Hip structure supporting bipedalism is the trait that primates, apart from humans, do not extensively rely on, as they are generally adapted for climbing rather than walking upright on two legs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primates rely extensively on several distinctive traits, but when considering the ollowign characteristics except one, we find that primates, including humans, share most of the listed characteristics. However, hip structure supporting bipedalism is a trait unique to humans and is not a shared characteristic among primates extensively. Most non-human primates are not bipedal; instead, they are adapted for climbing and brachiation with hands and feet specialized for gripping. Moreover, primates have an enlarged brain area associated with vision, and a reduced area associated with smell, due to their relative reliance on visual cues over olfactory ones. They also possess nails at the end of each digit rather than claws and have developed the capability for detection and processing of three-color vision.
