Either: primates have binocular vision, a well developed cerebrum, relatively long fingers and toes, and arms that can rotate around their shoulder joints. Or: besides an increased ability to use their eyes and front limbs together to perform certain tasks. :)

∙ 8y agoThere are many differences, but one of great significance is that other mammals can only see the colors green and blue; while primates see the colors red, green, and blue allowing them to distinguish ripe from unripe fruit without having to pick it and taste it. This gives them a big advantage as the diet of most primates is heavily based on fruit, unlike other mammals (many of which have a diet heavily based on insects or other sources of meat).
