I did not ignore the word other.
I already conceded to humans are great apes and I said that does not matter to me.
You are clearly ignoring the word "different.'

Okay...let's try this in terms you may be able to better understand.
How are Himalayan's different from other cats?
Does this mean that they are still different from cats?

Himalayans are cats but Himalayan cats are different from other cat breeds.
Right. Just as humans are great apes but human great apes are different from other great ape species.

There is nothing that says a creature cannot simultaneously be intelligent and driven by instinct at the same time. After all, humans are both intelligent and also driven by instinct.

1. Gorillas are the largest.
2. The family groups of gorillas are more stable and less fluid than those of i.e. chimps or bonobos.
3. Gorillas are primarily folivorous, meaning they mostly eat leaves, stems, and other plant material.
4. Other apes do not knuckle walk nearly as much as gorillas, who do it almost exclusively when on the ground.
5. The language of gorillas is unique.
6. The terrestrial nesting behavior is more pronounced in gorillas than in chimpanzees. Other apes like orangutans typically make their nests in trees.
7. Gorillas have a longer gestation period (about 8.5 months) and a slower reproductive rate compared to other great apes.
8. Obviously gorillas look different than other apes.
