The two major groups of primates are prosimians and anthropoids. Prosimians include lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers, while anthropoids include monkeys, apes, and humans.
Anthropoids are monkeys and apes including humans. They differ from prosimians whose primitive features include a tooth comb that helps them groom and lateral eyes. Prosimians tend to be larger as well.
The prosimians are primitive types of primates. The group includes bushbabies, lorises, lemurs, and tarsiers. All of the prosimians have tails.
Anthropoids differ from prosimians primarily in their evolutionary development and physical characteristics. Anthropoids, which include monkeys, apes, and humans, generally have larger brains, more complex social structures, and greater reliance on vision than prosimians, such as lemurs and tarsiers. Additionally, anthropoids typically exhibit a more advanced form of locomotion and a reduced reliance on olfactory senses compared to prosimians.
The correct order of mammals from lowest to highest form is: Prosimians, Monkeys, Apes and Humans. The mammalian order Primates contains over 230 species.
Lemurs are primates, but primates are divided into different categories prosimians, monkeys and apes. Lemurs are prosimians.
Prosimians are different from monkeys in that they prefer to eat meat and are considered to be predators. They also prefer to hunt at night. Monkeys prefer to eat fruits and like to forage for food during the day.

Lemurs are NOT monkeys (so they cannot be New World nor Old World monkeys); they are prosimians. Prosimians are found in the Old World.
