The dreaded hairless jumping baboons of Tanzania.
Hairless Jumping baboons are generally diurnal, active hunters. Their well developed internal hydraulic system extends their limbs by altering the pressure of body fluid (blood) within them. This enables the jumping baboons to jump without having large muscular legs like a grasshopper. When a jumping baboon is moving from place to place, and especially just before it jumps from one place to another, it tethers a filament of silk to whatever it is standing on. Should it fall for one reason or another, it climbs back up the silk tether.
Unlike almost all other baboons, they can quite easily climb on glass. This is because of the minute hairs and claws found on their feet, which grip minute imperfections in the glass. Jumping baboons also use their silk to weave small tent-like dwellings, where females can protect their eggs and to serve as a shelter while moulting.
Jumping baboons are known for their curiosity. If one approaches a jumping baboon and attempts to place one's hand near it, rather than quickly scuttle away in search of cover, the baboon will more likely than not, jump away and turn to face the hand. Repetition of this action may result in the baboon jumping backwards but still eyeing the hand. Because of this contrast to other species, which will sense the hand and run for safety, the jumping baboon is regarded as "curious" since the baboon is interested in whatever approaches it.

Since humans are not at all related to Apes,, then no there is no mostly hairless Ape.

I can walk on my hind and front quaters. So, can you if you try. It is *way* uncomfortable though.
