they differ by:
1) being much smaller,
2) having much smaller brains,
3) some higher primates also walked on 2 legs they normally walk on two.
4)lemurs and tarsiers are in the prosimians group and higher primates are in the anthropoids group.

Lemurs tarsiers and lorises are members of what primate group?
Lemurs, tarsiers, and lorises belong to a group of primates called prosimians. The sub-order Strepsirrhini (curly-nosed primates) are non-tarsier prosimians, and the sub-order Haplorrhini (dry-nosed primates) includes tarsiers and simians.
Are apes and monkeys alike?
Monkeys are primates, but not all primates are monkeys. Primates also include lemurs, tarsiers, and apes.
Are most primates social orsolitary?
The majority of primates are social. That includes lemurs, monkeys, apes, and humans. Some exceptions include orangutans, tarsiers, and lorisis.
Do prosimians have tails?
The prosimians are primitive types of primates. The group includes bushbabies, lorises, lemurs, and tarsiers. All of the prosimians have tails.
What is a lemur relative?
Lemurs are most closely related to the bushbabies (galagos) and pottos of Africa and the lorises of Southeast Asia. Lemurs are primates, so they are also closely related to tarsiers, monkeys, and apes.
What are the tarsier's related to?
Tarsiers are generally considered to be most closely related to anthropoid primates (monkeys, apes, and humans). However, they also share a lot of traits with strepsirrhine primates (lemurs and lorises).
How many small nocturnal primates are there?
The majority of prosimians are nocturnal. This includes some lemurs, galagos and tarsiers. The only nocturnal money is the owl monkey.
What is the difference between tarsiers and bush babies?
the major groups of living primates. • Tarsiers • Lorises and galagos (bushbabies) • Lemurs (Madagascar only) • Platyrrhine monkeys (all New World primates) • Cercopithecoid monkeys • Apes So no they are not the same animal
What group does a Bush Baby animal belong to?
a squirrel group The above is false. Bushbabies are Prosimians or "Lesser Primates" along with Pottos, Lemurs, Lorises, and Tarsiers.
Does a tarsier have fur?
Yes. Tarsiers are primates, like lemurs, monkeys and apes, and their specific species has fur all over save for the inner hands and feet.
What are 2 groups of primitive primates?
It depends on what you mean by "primitive." The strepsirrhine primates and tarsiers have many traits that are ancestral for primates. However, strepsirrhines have more of these traits. Their group includes the lorises (and relatives) and the lemurs (including the Aye-aye).
Are lemurs mammals?
No, lemurs are strepsirrhines, a completely different branch of primates.
