Primates

The two suborders of primates that are recognized today are Strepsirrhini (lemurs and lorises) and Haplorrhini (tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans). The taxonomy of primates is an issue that is not resolved and has undergone many revisions over the years. Our Primates category attempts to deal with questions about primate species and subspecies described prior to and since the latest revisions.

How would you describe e-marketing?

E-marketing is a process of planning and executing the conception, distribution, promotion, and pricing of products and services in a computerized, networked environment, such as the Internet and the World Wide Web,

Are primates vertebrates?

Apart from the genus homo (humans) the types of primate locomotion are quadrupedalism (moving on all fours/with all four limbs), brachiation (swinging, branch running), and vertical clinging and leaping. "Arboreal quadrupedalism" is the most common type of locomotion among the primate order, meaning the use of grasping hands and feet with a long tail for balance. Although other primate walk on two limbs at times, humans are the only primates that actively engage in bipedalism (standing), the form of locomotion in which two limbs are used for moving.

If microsyopid is proved to be primative what conclusion about primates might be changed?

That question doesn't really make any sense. Primitive relative to what? This type of question always requires some context in order to be answerable.

Are humans primates or mammals?

Humans are mammals

Answer 2

Mammals are warm-blooded, have fur or hair, feed their young with milk from mammary glands (breasts) and give birth to live young.

Reptiles are cold blooded, have no fur or hair, do not feed their young with milk, and lay eggs.

I'm sure you can work it out from that.

What are 2 groups of primitive primates?

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).

Primates evolve and diversify?

Primates evolved approximately 65 million years ago, leading to a diverse range of species adapted to various environments. This diversification is marked by the emergence of two main groups: prosimians (like lemurs and tarsiers) and simians (monkeys and apes). Factors such as habitat changes, dietary adaptations, and social behavior played crucial roles in their evolutionary paths. Today, primates exhibit a wide array of physical and behavioral traits, reflecting their complex evolutionary history.

What ways do primates use their thumbs?

No. A primate is a monkey or ape or something of that family.

Why do monkeys have tails but people and apes don't?

This seems to be a common misconception - humans did not come from monkeys - but we do share a common ancestor with them. This common ancestor did not directly give rise to humans, it gave rise to the ape clad. These early apes divided into other evolutionary clad - we belong to just one of them.

The ape clad possesses certain shared traits that distinguish them from monkeys - one of these traits is not having a tail. The very first apes had no tails - a trait that is shared by all the species that descended from them.

Tails were lost in hominids prior to 17.9 Million years ago in response to the different ecological pressures experienced by apes. Ape ancestors did not hang from their tails (only South American monkeys can do this). In fact certain species of monkeys also lost their tails via evolutionary pressures.

Apes evolved powerful grasping hands and feet and moved through trees differently than tailed monkeys to take advantage of different resources. They eventually lost the extra bones beyond their coccyx that inhibited their locomotion.

Which primate has a non prehensile tail?

Baboons and Mandrills do not have prehensile tails. They are large monkeys that spend most of their time on the ground. For that reason, it is not necessary for them to have a prehensile tail.

What primates are carnivorous?

yes chimpanzees are carniverous monkeys. they hunt in packs and their favourite meal is the red Columbus monkey!

Why do people hunt proboscis monkeys?

because they want to raise them in captivity and sell them in stores as pets. also, they want to catch them to breed.

What is the foodweb for a rabbit?

Horses mainly eat grass when they are in a field, but it isn't very filling.

When in a Stable, you usually feed them Hay, Chaff or Oats. You can also use carrots, apples, sugar lumps, polo mints, etc for treats. It's a good idea to give your horse treats from time to time, but make sure you never give them too many.

Hope this helps xx

Why are primate cities so prevalant in the developing world?

Because primates are biologically unable to manage cities, unlike the organisms which built them for them.

How many marmosets are left in the world?

it is impossible to answer this question as they live in dense jungle and are constantly breeding

What characteristics distinguish humans from all other mammals?

Either: primates have binocular vision, a well developed cerebrum, relatively long fingers and toes, and arms that can rotate around their shoulder joints. Or: besides an increased ability to use their eyes and front limbs together to perform certain tasks. :)

Can primates swim?

well an orangutan has been swimming in a orangutan shelter her name was princess she is one of the most intelligent Orangutans ever. but most monkeys and lemurs cant swim, but chimpanzees Bonobos and Orangutans have been seen wading through the water using sticks to balance themselves if its deep. hope that helped you!

What are the primate adaptations for arboreal life?

Humans didnt technically come from primates like evryone actually thinks the truth is that we a common ancestor and threw evolution we separated and developed differently. You can think of it like a tree humans apes primates all came from the same ancestor or branch but we are on different twigs so to speak so we broke apart and developed in different ways. However some things that humans have in common with primates are our metabolsiam, chromsomes make up and are DNA is actually 99% the same. but some other things are there hands, facial structure, and social groups. Although these parts of humans have further developed (ie. are thumbs) they are very similar to each other.

What is the name of young ones of primates?

Professionally, a baby chimpanzee is referred to as an infant.
Sometimes it may be referred to as a Junior, if it is a young chimpanzee but not a baby.

Other than that, there is no specific term for a young chimpanzee, other than "baby chimpanzee" or "young chimpanzee" itself.
