Primates

A primate

they differ by:

1) being much smaller,

2) having much smaller brains,

3) some higher primates also walked on 2 legs they normally walk on two.

4)lemurs and tarsiers are in the prosimians group and higher primates are in the anthropoids group.

Chimpanzees are genetically closest.

Culture is defined as knowledge that is passed on from generation to generation. Therefore, non-human primates do have culture. Chimpanzees are a very good example because, just like humans living in different parts of world, different communities have different ways of doing things. Some Chimp communities use rocks as hammers and anvils to bust open nuts, others use twigs to fish for ants or termites. There is even a community that hunts with spears and cools off in caves! Another good example is the Japanese macaque (the light brown monkeys with pink faces that are often photographed lounging in hot springs). They became famous during the 1950s when one female was observed washing a sweet potato in water. This technique eventually caught on as new innovations are usually adopted by the younger generations and passed on to their own children later--this is an important point that can't be stressed enough. Some years later, one of these macaques started washing their potato in salty sea water. This is a common practice today because they apparently like salt just as much as humans do.

A paper published in 2007, "4,300-Year-old chimpanzee sites and the origins of percussive stone technology," found that Chimpanzees have been using stone tools for at least 4 millennia. Tool use probably goes back much further than this. Man was thought to be the only one capable of using tools until researchers in the 1960s first witnessed Chimps using stone anvils. (Such tool use was actually recorded as far back as the 16th century but forgotten. See "Reports of Chimpanzee Natural History, Including Tool Use, in 16th- and 17th-Century Sierra Leone"). So if both man and Chimps, our closest living genetic cousin, both use tools, our common ancestor who lived around 7 million years ago most likely used tools as well.

A good book for learning the difference between a Chimp's genetically engrained behavior and behavior that is learned (i.e. culture) is Prof. Frans de Waal's _The Ape and the Sushi Master_ (2001).

Yes, we both evolved from a common ancestor (which no longer exists).

Some primates (such as monkeys) have prehensile tails, which means they are fully able to control the tail and it is almost like an extra arm. However, some primates, such as humans and other apes, are tailless or nearly tailless.

A tamarin is a type of monkey. They are small, squirrel like primates which are common in Central and South America, particularly Colombia and near the Amazon river.

It probably seems like menstruation would be a big pain for other primates, right? If you're reading this post and you're a woman, chances are you've had to deal with "Aunt Flow" since your junior high days or even earlier, month after tiresome month, so it makes sense that you'd want to know just how other animals, including our non-human primate cousins cope. After all, it's not like they can just run on down to the pharmacy for supplies. But the thing to remember is that in the past, and even in some other 'natural fertility' groups today, women would typically get married at a much earlier age and spend most of their adult lives either pregnant or breastfeeding, both of which cause what's known as "secondary amenorrhea" (no periods), so they would actually have way fewer periods over the course of their lifetime than we experience. It's the same for other primates (monkeys, apes, lemurs etc.). When a female primate ovulates, odds are she'll also mate with one or more males and become pregnant. Think about it - it's not like non-human primates (in the wild) have access to birth control. And, like I mentioned above, the entire time a primate is pregnant and lactating she also is not menstruating since both are metabolically draining on the mother. Infant primates aren't fed jars of mushy baby food or given bottle formula, either, so they pretty much have to rely on mom's milk until they can possibly begin to find food on their own -- especially since food sharing is pretty darn rare in other animals. All of this means that primate babies end up nursing for what would seem to us like a really long period of time. By the time a baby primate is weaning and its mum can ovulate and mate again, odds are she'll also have a line of eager males waiting in the wings to start the whole cycle over again, thus preventing menstruation. When implantation does not occur in a given cycle(recall that the length of a female's cycle varies both between species and also within the members of a given species), however, then the endometrial tissue might be reabsorbed (so there's no external bleeding) or shed (see Strassman, 1996), although few mammals have as much menstrual bleeding as humans. So, as you can see menstruation is not something that would pose a huge problem for most non-human primates because it would be a relatively rare event. Finally, the fact that women in developed countries today menstruate so much is, as you can see, certainly not the "ancestral" pattern, and has been linked to a rise in many types of reproductive cancers.

An invertebrate is any living thing with a spine or backbone. Primates are not invertebrates because they do have backbones.

1) Binocular/Stereoscopic vision - basically the orbits moved to the front of the head. This allows better judgment of distances for jumping, climbing and leaping within the trees.
