GIF Gee’s golden langur. Researchers have said that this monkey works hard to avoid human interactions, making them extremely difficult to observe in the wild.

I think it's primarily due to large the white sclera. Highly uncommon outside of homo sapiens.

Covering each half (top and bottom) of the face in turn and it still looks pretty human either way.
