You can see how the image of the worksheet carefully cuts off the list of primate types, to exclude "human".

I wonder if the same outrage would be made over Albert Einstein's similar use in a similar depiction of primates....specifically apes?

Yeah definitely sketchy. Also there is enough space between gorilla and spider monkey for human to fit which is inconsistent with the spacing we can see between the other categories. Furthermore even if human was left off the list it would make sense since the question is asking which of the following is endangered, and obviously humans aren’t.
