Humans are classified as mammals because they (1) have hair on their bodies and (2) because they feed their offspring when they are young, with nutrients produced by the mammary glands. Humans are classified as primates because of their forward-looking eyes, which allow for stereoscopic vision for gauging depth and distance. They also have a well-developed brain.
