primate
Mammal with thumbs
A primate is a member of the mammalian order that includes humans, apes, monkeys, and lemurs—animals typically characterized by forward-facing eyes, grasping hands, and large brains relative to body size.
In religious contexts, a primate is a high-ranking bishop or archbishop: the Primate of the Anglican Church.
The biological and ecclesiastical senses share no connection beyond the spelling.
