Yes, I know full well that humans are a species of ape. I was meaning by the archaic definition of the word (ex. a knuckle-walking, tree-climbing animal).

Skeletal structure is useful in some cases but it can't determine how "removed" we are from our cousin species on its own. All humans are equally removed from the other apes, we've just evolved slightly differently from each other.

I didn't mean it in a scientific sense. More in a social sense. That chart was made around the 17th century or so, when we viewed the Greek gods figures as the most "human."
I was wondering if this was for or against racism.

Prognathism and the plasticity of human skulls in Sub-Saharan Africa varies dramatically. Using the most divergent phenotype as some sort of "true" negroid phenotype ignores the biodiversity and genetic diversity of sub saharan Africans.
