It depends on what you mean by "primitive." The strepsirrhine primates and tarsiers have many traits that are ancestral for primates. However, strepsirrhines have more of these traits. Their group includes the lorises (and relatives) and the lemurs (including the Aye-aye).
Prosimians
They are New World monkeys, Old World monkeys and apes, and prosimians, the most primitive primates
The earliest primates are most similar to modern-day prosimians, such as lemurs and tarsiers. These early primates, which emerged around 65 million years ago, exhibited traits like grasping hands and forward-facing eyes, indicative of their arboreal lifestyle. Their anatomical and behavioral characteristics suggest a close evolutionary link to these primitive primate groups. Overall, they represent a transitional phase in primate evolution, bridging the gap between small mammals and more advanced primates.

The prosimians are primitive types of primates. The group includes bushbabies, lorises, lemurs, and tarsiers. All of the prosimians have tails.
The two major groups of primates are prosimians and anthropoids. Prosimians include lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers, while anthropoids include monkeys, apes, and humans.
Most species of monkeys live in groups. The size of a group depends on how much food is available and if there are predators around.
Primitive groups can be considered "primitive" from a Eurocentric perspective that emphasizes technological advancement, complex social structures, and written language as markers of civilization. This viewpoint often overlooks the rich cultural practices, knowledge systems, and adaptive strategies of these groups, which may be highly sophisticated in their own contexts. Additionally, this classification can reflect biases in understanding human development, as it imposes a linear progression of societal evolution that does not account for diverse ways of life. Ultimately, labeling groups as "primitive" can obscure their resilience and the value of their unique cultural contributions.
Most monkeys hang in groups called primates.
They form groups, scream, and pick up tree branches to defend themselves
