Lemurs is it higher or lower primate?
A lemur is a prosimian or "pre-monkey", meaning it is considered a "lower primate". However, these terms are not used much any more, in favor of the terms "strepsirrhine" for lemurs, lorises, and bushbabies, and "haplorrhines" for tarsiers, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, and apes. These newer terms distinguish the two groups based on anatomical structures, namely involving the nose.

Are Lemurs a representative of the first primates?
Lemurs are considered to be among the most primitive members of the primate order, but they are not direct representatives of the first primates. They belong to the suborder Strepsirrhini, which diverged early in primate evolution, alongside other groups like lorises and galagos. While they retain some ancestral traits, modern lemurs have evolved separately for millions of years, making them distinct from the earliest primates. Thus, they provide insights into early primate characteristics but are not direct descendants of the first primates.
What are the tarsier's related to?
Tarsiers are generally considered to be most closely related to anthropoid primates (monkeys, apes, and humans). However, they also share a lot of traits with strepsirrhine primates (lemurs and lorises).
Classification categories for non-human and human primates?
Non-human primates are classified into two main groups: Prosimians (lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers) and Anthropoids (Old World monkeys, New World monkeys, and apes). Humans are classified as part of the family Hominidae, along with great apes like chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.
