GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Humans are classified as mammals because humans have the same distinctive features (listed above) found in all members of this large group. Humans are also classified within: the subgroup of mammals called primates; and the subgroup of primates called apes and in particular the ‘Great Apes’

Detailed explanation-2: -An animal is considered a mammal if it can produce milk. Other features unique to mammals include hair or fur (chemically different from hairlike structures on non-mammals); the malleus, incus, and stapes in the ear; and a diaphragm separating the heart and lungs from the abdomen.
