You got one right here..
Actually the reason why Buddhism seems similar to Hinduism is that Buddhism branched off from Hinduism.
The reason for the branching off is that Siddhartha Gautama or "Buddha" was born into a Hindu family. He found that society at the time was misinterpreting the scriptures, so he wanted to restore the word of the Upanishads, and hence Buddhism came about.
