Human biology is an interleaving of our fundamental mammalian biology with specific primate, ape, and human adaptations. Consider the following traits and determine whether each is a result of our being mammals, primates, apes, or humans: color vision, bipedal locomotion, full rotation (circumduction) at the shoulder joint, nipples, dental formula 2/1/2/3, dermatoglyphs, non-grasping feet, facial musculature, grasping hands, no rhinarium, generally minimal body hair, cryptic ovulation, three inner ear bones, diphyodonty, any degree of post-orbital closure, tool-use. For traits that are not unique to humans, provide an example of another organism of the same group (mammal, primate, ape) that has the same traits as humans. (For example, if the trait is "has fingernails," then "chimpanzee" or "gorilla" or "orang" would be all acceptable answers.)
