In the image, we have the skeletons of a gibbon, a human, a chimpanzee, a gorilla, and an orangutan.

All of these organisms are primates and are somewhat similar, for example:

-All of them are capable of having an upright position, as we see in the image.

-None of them have tails.

-Their bone structure is very similar.

But also they have several differences:

-All of them, except humans, have arms that are longer than their legs.

-The non-humans have smaller skulls.

-The gibbon and the human have smaller mandibles and pelves than the others.
