Why do individual humans have such unique faces while animals have faces that are all similar? Is this purely perception? Are we actually just as similar looking to each other as the animals are?

Was watching the documentary series Babies on Netflix. Some scientists discovered that younger babies can easily tell the difference between faces, whether they were human or ape or monkey.

We lose this ability because we see our parents/family’s faces so much, that over time we learn what our “group” looks like which eventually excludes monkeys and apes but also ends up excluding other races.
