But there are huge differences:
* Primates can not sweat and self regulate body temperature through perspiration.
* Primates can not fast, most humans can go 40 days without eating, chimps would starve to death after couple of days.
* Primates can not run for several hours and outrun a horse!
Scaling up brain is not a problem, but keeping it supplied with energy is.
