Humans did not shared ancestry with other primates. If they would have then, there should be some common ancestry should be seen.
For example, tails: this characteristic is still exhibited occssionally in atavism.
According to current evolutionary theory, the ancestors of humans lost their tails about 25 million years ago, when apes (tail-less primates) diverged from monkeys (tailed primates). Theory of the continuity of the germplasm was given by Weismann. He recognized that animals are made up of- body cells or somaplasm, which contain gamete-producing cells or germplasm. At each generation, the embryo that develops from the zygote not only sets aside some germplasm for the next generation but also produces the cells that will develop into the body, the soma, of the organism.
Assertion : Comparative biochemistry provides a strong evidence in favour of common ancestry of living beings.
