Primates

Gigantopithecus blackii - is the largest extinct primate species.

You share 99.8% of your DNA with your science teacher because you are both humans. You share 98.4% of your DNA with chimpanzees.

The binomial nomenclature system is the system of naming species of living organisms. To write a species name, you must know its genus and its species. So, for example, a human is Homo sapien. The genus is Homo, and the species is sapien. The genus name is always capitalized.

1. Bipedalism: Humans walk upright on two legs, allowing for efficient long-distance travel and freeing up the hands for carrying objects.
2. Large brain size: Humans have evolved a large brain relative to body size, which enables advanced cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, social interaction, and language.
3. Tool use: Humans have developed the ability to create and use a wide variety of tools for tasks ranging from hunting and gathering to building shelters and conducting complex activities.

A primate is a group of mammals that includes humans, apes, monkeys, and prosimians like lemurs. They are characterized by having grasping hands and feet, forward-facing eyes, and well-developed brains. Primates are known for their complex social behaviors and intelligence.

DNA is found in the nucleus of cells in humans. It is also present in small amounts in mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouse of the cell.

No. Like humans, all monkeys and apes are herbivores. The relatively newly discovered fact that some apes have begun killing and eating others apes does not make them carnivores.

If by carnivorous, meaning "only meat eating", then no. Most apes, while primarily feeding on vegetation, can also eat bugs and meat, i.e. omnivores by taxonomy. The greater question is are any apes (including homo sapiens) purely vegetarian? Gorillas are only known to eat vegetation, orangutans add insects to that diet, and chimps even kill and eat smaller mammals. While apes could survive on a purely vegetarian diet, their anatomies could not sustain a purely carnal diet.

The only exception:

There is one species of purely carnivorous primate. It's called a Tarsier.

They're categorized as a Haplorhine (new and old world monkeys, apes, and humans) though were previously categorized as Strepsirhines, (which are lemurs and lorises).

They are nocturnal by nature, and only live in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. By what you consider to be carniverous, they might not be, but by actual definition, because they only eat insects, frogs, and reptiles.

The eastern gorilla is considered the strongest primate due to its large size and powerful build. They are capable of lifting and moving heavy objects as well as displaying impressive feats of strength.

Old World monkeys are believed to have evolved from ancient primates that lived in Africa and Asia around 25 million years ago. Through a process of adaptation to their changing environments, these early primates eventually gave rise to the diverse group of monkeys we see today. Key evolutionary developments, such as the development of a more complex brain and improved mobility, played a crucial role in the evolution of Old World monkeys.

1) A shortened snout that contains at least three types of teeth.

2) Eye Sockets (orbits) that face forward and are protected on the side, toward the back, by bone (post-orbital bar).

3) Three little bones of the middle ear housed within an outgrowth (pestrosal bulla) of the skull, instead of being contained in a separate bone.

4) Collar bones (clavical bones).

5) Fingernails and toenails instead of claws.

6) Two separate bones in the forearm (radius and ulna) and leg (tibia and fibula).

7) Grasping feet (except for humans) and hands, with mobility of thumbs and big toes as well as other individual digits.

8) Tendency toward vertical posture.

9) Trend toward longer lives with longer periods of infancy, childhood, and adulthood.

10) Enlarged Brains with increased areas for seeing and decreased areas for smelling.

Examples of hyperactivity or impulsive behavior may include constantly fidgeting, interrupting others in conversations, difficulty waiting one's turn, making quick decisions without considering consequences, and engaging in risky activities without considering the potential dangers.

because there is always something to smile about, every cloud has a silver lining! i have also been told it is good for you! pass the smile on!

This is because 99% of people look more beautiful when they smile. Smiling increases your life span and reduces stress

Monkeys are native to regions like Africa, Asia, and South America due to evolutionary factors. North America did not have the same environmental conditions and evolutionary history that allowed monkeys to develop and thrive in the region. Therefore, no monkeys are native to North America.

The genus name for Homo sapiens is Homo.

Homo sapiens neanderthals lived in Europe and parts of Asia during the Paleolithic period, approximately 400,000 to 40,000 years ago. They were well-adapted to colder climates and are known for their robust physique and distinctive features.

Yes, homo sapien sapiens is the same as homo sapiens. The term "homo sapien sapiens" specifically refers to modern humans, while "homo sapiens" is the binomial nomenclature for the human species.

Due to effective tools, larger body size, and metabolic demands of the brain associated with H. erectus, most researchers postulate that, by the time H. erectus had evolved, meat constituted an important part of the human diet. Hunting habits in H. erectus still are unclear; researchers think that individuals in the species still were scavenging but, also, caught small animals and fish. Some sites, such as in Torralba and Ambrona in Spain, show evidence of large-game hunting by controlling stampedes. These sites reveal evidence that a stampede of large, elephant-like animals was forced off a cliff. Hunting like this produced large amounts of meat that could be shared by many members of the group. An abundance of Acheulean tools littering in the sites shows that butchering of animals was performed on site and smaller, more manageable pieces of meat and bones or other animal materials were carried away.

Yes, Homo sapiens developed tools as part of their cultural and technological evolution. The use of tools played a crucial role in their ability to adapt, survive, and thrive in different environments. The development and refinement of tools over time contributed to the advancement of human civilization.

It is impossible to determine the specific identity of the first Homo sapien on Earth due to the complexities of evolution. The emergence of Homo sapiens as a species was a gradual process spanning thousands of years.

One of the main migration routes of Homo sapiens out of Africa is believed to have been through the Sinai Peninsula into the Levant region, and then spreading out into Europe and Asia. This movement is thought to have occurred around 60,000 years ago.

Yes, Homo sapiens sapiens (modern humans) have the ability to make fire through various methods such as friction, sparks, or using tools like lighters and matches. The ability to control fire has been a key factor in human evolution and has been used for cooking, warmth, protection, and tool-making for thousands of years.

They depend on the animals by how they lived

Humans are considered to be one of the most highly adaptable species, if not the most adaptable. It is possible to make very good cases for the rat and a selection of different insects in that regard, however.
