Chimp development is rapid and shuts down at sexual maturity. Ours continues to change and develop well beyond physical maturity, which allows for plasticity and much more complexity. On this basis I propose that we are really not in the Primate family, but something very different. Just judging by arms and legs is superficial. Our postures and locomotion are very different. And our brains are enormously diffferent. -http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-09-myelin-differences-chimps-humans.html
