Primates Apes, monkeys, and you The primates include the most familiar of the placental mammals , because they include us, Homo sapiens . Primates also include familiar animals, such as the chimpanzees, gorillas, and monkeys, as well as the somewhat less familiar lemurs, lorises, galagos, pottos, sifakas, indris, aye-ayes, and tarsiers. We're sorry that we don't yet have a proper exhibit on primates, but we've received so many requests for information that we have provided links below to some on-line resources on primates and paleoanthropology.

Most have grasping hands, flat nails (instead of claws), fingerprints, and a large brain. Primate mothers carry their young on their bodies until they are weaned; the ties between mother and baby are very strong. There are about 200 species of primates, including monkeys, lemurs, chimps, humans, and others. Primates are divided into three groups:

28. The Primates: Humans As a member of the superfamily Hominoidea, man is in fact just another primate species with African origins and differs physically only in degree from some of the other species. http://anthro.palomar.edu/primate/prim_8.htm

Humans Typical human sexual dimorphism In addition to the great apes, the family Homin idae includes our species Homo sapiens In the past, there also were other species of humans as well as hominids more similar to us than the chimpanzees and bonobos. They will be described in the last three tutorials of this series. It has been historically difficult for people to accept that we are in fact just another primate species with African origins and that we differ physically only in degree from some of the others. The similarities can be seen throughout our bodies. For instance, humans and the African apes all lack external tails and have hands with a thumb that is sufficiently separate from the other fingers to allow them to be opposable for precision grips. Humans are also sexually dimorphicmales are 5-10% larger on average and have greater upper body muscular development . Like chimpanzees and bonobos, we are omnivorous. We kill other animals for food in addition to eating a wide variety of plants. Internally, our bodies are even more similar to the

32. Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections: PRIMATES The ordinal name primates, means the first or primary animals. This naming convention reflects the egocentric orientation of humans http://brainmuseum.org/Specimens/primates/

PRIMATES A single species, Homo sapiens , is nearly worldwide in distribution. Otherwise other members of the order are found in the Americas from eastern and southern Mexico to southeastern Brazil, most of Africa, Madagascar, the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, south-central and southeastern Asia, Japan and the East Indies as far as Sulawesi and Timor. Walker includes 13 Families, 71 genera and 233 species within the Order Primates. Since humans are themselves primates, the order has attracted much interest and investigation, and there are numerous views on classification, especially between the order and family levels. Simpson's (1945) scheme is followed by Walker.

We are an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was first established on a small acreage in Dallas Oregon in In 2008 we were blessed with a secluded 28 acre sanctuary in beautiful Longview, Washington. Safely nestled among the fir trees and surrounded by nature, this truly is a place where the monkeys feel at home!

Publications Primate Conservation, Inc., (PCI) is an all volunteer not for profit foundation [501(c)(3)] dedicated to studying, preserving and maintaining the habitats of the least known and most endangered primates in the world. Over 100 species, approaching half of all primates, are threatened or endangered. The tropical forests where most primates live are disappearing at an alarming rate. Jane Goodall and others who have done field studies of primates in their natural habitat have shown that dedicated individuals are one of the keys to successful conservation. PCI provides grants to support the next generation of researchers and conservationists in the field. These grantees research the needs of species, focusing the attention of local people and the world. In many cases they are the endangered primates only defense against hunters and loggers.

The only primate that is smarter is the human. However, that is debatable, especially while watching two political parties lie and insult each other. Maybe a monkey has more common sense and better judgment. It certainly takes good judgment if you are considering a monkey as a pet. A monkey can be impulsive, unpredictable, and excitable. They are very strong when they grow up. They will never adapt to living in a house. They are social animals and live in large groups. Socializing with just "their human" will never be enough. They will become lonely, leading to illness, and perhaps even die. Monkeys' are cute and affectionate while babies. They can be very difficult to handle as they grow older. Monkeys have very sharp teeth. The Monkey that has never bitten anyone is rare. If it hasn't happened yet, that day well most likely come. They cannot be toilet trained.

Primates From LoveToKnow 1911 PRIMATES (Lat. primus, first), the name given by Linnaeus to the highest order of mammals (see Mammalia ), which was taken by him to include not only man, apes, monkeys and lemurs, but likewise bats. The latter group is now separated as a distinct order (see Chiroptera ). It has also been proposed to remove from the Primates the lemurs, constituting the group Prosimiae, or Lemuroidea, to form an order by themselves; but general opinion is now against this view, and they are accordingly here regarded as representing a sub-order of Primates, all the other members of which are included in a second subordinal group - the Anthropoidea, or Simiae. Support to the view that lemurs should be included in the order is afforded by the discovery in Madagascar of an extinct species ( Nesopithecus ) presenting certain characters connecting it with monkeys on the one hand and with lemurs on the other. In this broader sense the Primates may briefly be defined as follows. All the members of the order are plantigrade mammals, normally with five fingers and five toes, which are generally armed with broad flattened nails, although these are rarely replaced on single digits, or on all the digits, by claws or claw-like nails. The dental formula is i. 2, c., d. 2 (I)
