It depends on the primate.

Theoretically-sorry if that's spelt wrongly-until the baby becomes indipendant.

In humans it lasts a lifetime. I don't know why this is, but i have my own theories.

Hope I helped

The primate maternal instinct typically lasts until the offspring reaches independence or adulthood, which can vary depending on the species. In general, primates have strong maternal bonds that are important for the survival and development of their offspring.

Where there shelters easy to move and how long does it last?

Yes, portable shelters like tents or yurts are easy to move as they can be assembled and disassembled quickly. The durability can vary depending on the material and quality, but typically a well-maintained portable shelter can last several years with proper care.


When did the last caveman die?

It is difficult to determine an exact date for the last caveman's death as "cavemen" existed over a span of thousands of years in various regions around the world. The term typically refers to prehistoric humans who lived in caves or simple shelters, and as societies evolved, the lifestyle of cavemen disappeared.


What are we?

We are humans (Homo sapiens), a member of the taxonomic order primates. In the order primates there are two main sub-orders: strepsirrhini (lemurs, lorises and bush-babies) and haplorhini (tarsiers, monkeys, apes and humans). We are all members of the same order based on certain synapomorphies (i.e., shared, derived traits) that distinguish us from other mammals, which is referred to as the 'primate pattern'. Some of these traits include: forward-facing eyes with stereoscopic vision, grasping hands and feet with opposable halluces and nails instead of claws, larger encephalization than other mammals, a long period of infant dependency and a tendency to give birth to singletons instead of litters, and so forth. As humans, we belonging to the suborder haplorhini. We certainly aren't monkeys as the last poster noted, nor did we 'evolve' from monkeys. Rather, share a last common ancestor with these other priamtes in our distant evolutionary past. The living apes (i.e., Hylobates, Pongo, Gorilla and Pan) shared a LCA with the lineage leading to our own genus at ~ 14, 7, 4 and 2 Mya, respectively.

What are the taxonomic levels for humans?

The full classification of Homo sapiens looks a little long winded but here goes: Domain: Eukaryota; Kingdom: Metazoa; Eumetazoa; Bilateria; Coelomata; Deuterostomia; Phylum: Chordata; Subphylum: Craniata; Vertebrata; Superclass:Gnathostomata; Teleostomi; Euteleostomi (bony vertebrates); Sarcopterygii; Tetrapoda; Amniota (amniotes); Class: Mammalia; Theria; Eutheria (placentals); Superorder: Euarchontoglires; Order: Primates; Suborder: Haplorrhini; Infraorder: Simiiformes; Parvorder: Catarrhini; Superfamily: Hominoidea; Family: Hominidae; Homo/Pan/Gorilla group; Genus: Homo; Species: Homo sapiens. I suppose it gets more interesting the closer to the species we get. We are of the same family as chimps and gorillas, but that's a long way from genus, which is equally a long way from species. Hope that helped.
