The same cannot be said for modern apes, some of which we share 90% + DNA with.From a biblical viewpoint, biological similarities between humans and other primates would be expected since both are fashioned from the same substance (‘out of the ground all the beasts…”), so genetic similarities should exist between humans and other animals. And an even greater dna similarity should exist between humans and other primates since the design template is basically the same.
This seems to indicate that they were a human subspecies
now in the case of human beings (made in God's image), they have a spirit which accounts for behavior and cognitive ability differences from other primates.
You've never read a biology book, have you.
