Yeah, if you think the gap between us is too wide, just break it down. We're not so far from cavemen, they're not so far from flatfaced hominids, they're not so far from upright apes, and they're not so far from particularly ambitious proto-chimps.

Because you're right, hominids are a seperate group from lemurs and the like. They're just both derived from a common ancestor, and that's impossible to deny because it's also true of literally every species on earth. Go back far enough, and you'll find a forefather species that diverged into humans, slugs, beetles and sequoia trees.
