Do other primates recognize humans as primates?

AI RESPONSE

They recognize us as a distinctive kind of animal that is very socially intelligible to them. A chimpanzee generally distinguishes humans from chimpanzees. They recognize chimp faces as belonging to their own species and show different responses toward humans. So we're probably not being mentally categorized simply as unusually hairless chimpanzees.
