eli5: Why is it not possible to build bird-like attachable wings that account for body proportions to allow humans to fly or glide around?

You got some amazing responses, but I still want to give my 2 cents, even though it’s redundant
>Why is it not possible to build bird-like attachable wings?
It kinda is, we call it hang glider.
>to allow humans to fly or glide around?
Like a wing suit? So again, we can, just probably not how you envisioned.
Why no flappy? Bones not hollow, too fat, pecs too small to flappy.
