Which primate is the closest relative to the common ancestor of all primates?

The last common ancestor between Homo sapiens and their closest relatives among other apes (Chimpanzees) occurred around 6 to 8 million years ago. Because this field is such a new one, and because the information is so limited, as of yet it is difficult to assign a specific species to the common ancestor. Right now the closest we have come is Sahelanthropus tchadensis.

How did people enter the world?

According to evolutionary theory, the common ancestor for humans was a primate, and the common ancestor of primates was a lower form of mammal. Modern humans have only been on Earth for less than 200,000 years, and we only have any considerable knowledge of the most recent 20,000 years, and substantial absolute knowledge about the last 2500 years.

What animal is not a type of primate?

It is probably a better question to ask what animal is a type of primate as primates are merely animals that pertain to a very certain set of traits. To be a primate, the animal does not need to have every trait as classifications are not perfect. The vast majority of animals are not primates. Humans are primates, technically they are part of apes. The other common type of primates that people think of is monkeys. Monkeys generally have tails, are smaller, and not as intelligent as apes.

Why is the important for a paleoanthropologist to know about all primate?

Anthropology is the scientific study of the origin, the behavior, and the physical, social, and cultural development of humans. Paleoanthropology is the study of extinct members of the genus Homo Sapiens. As Homo Sapiens and other primates are closely related and have a common ancestor it is necessary for paleoanthropologists to be familiar with the evolution of existing and extinct primates.


Do gorillas and baboons evolve from a common ancestor?

Baboons belong to a part of the primate family called "Old World Monkeys" and Chimpanzees belong to a part called "Hominidae" (or the Great Apes). Both Hominindae and Old World Monkeys share a common ancestor, but after that the families branch off and continue on separate evolutionary paths. Baboons and Chimpanzees are very distant relatives, and neither one evolved from the other.
