Biological classification (Taxonomy) categorises living organisms into groups of similar organisms. So one major group, animals, all belong to the 'Kingdom' Animalia. Animalia itself is broken down into groups of similar organisms, then each group is broken down further - so as an example, Animalia contains the 'Classes' Mammalia (mammals) Aves (birds), and others, and all these are broken down into 'Orders'.
'Primates' is one such order of Mammalia, and this contains monkeys, apes, and humans. Therefore all three of those can be reffered to as 'primates', in the same way as we can call them 'mammals' and 'animals'.

∙ 15y agoyes man is a primate. we arer a slightly later version of a primate. We still have many primate characteristics-we are mammals, are feet and hands are fairly similar, a skeletal and muscular setup and systems are very similar too. Human brains have been shown to be a larger sized version of primate brains. We (homosapien) still have a small tail bone. Even our behaviour can be related to our primate cousains. Hope I helped high-5 yay

Describe at least three kinds of evidence that suggests all primates shared a common acestor?
One evidence suggesting that all primates might have come from a common ancestor is that they all act very similar. For example, human kids play with toys, and other primates such as a monkey take a stick and use it as a doll or an action figure. Another evidence is that all primates have a similar fossil structure, which can also lead to similar ancestors, or the same. Also another proof of evidence is the fact that all primates always act like each other. ok that's the answer now sent your credit card number to designator817@AOL.comm
