  MAMMALIA a goal. Mammals, the highest so. Before the hind legs are the five fingers (toes). Exception of a few fingers (toes) have pointed end (toe) A; thumb (toe) and flexible, with the other fingers (toes) on the grip. Omnivorous, arboreal or semi-arboreal life business. Brain development, two born in the front. Can be divided into the original monkeys and apes suborder suborder.

  Description:
  Characteristics:
  Most types of primates short nose, the sense of smell secondary to visual, tactile and auditory, golden monkey and the dolphin is the end of the nose leaf monkey is degraded, the formation of the Yang nostrils. Proboscis monkeys are large and long nose. Most species of both finger and toe with a flat, plantar feasibility. Gibbons and orangutans Section Division forelimbs much longer than the hind limbs. Tailless apes and people, in a type of tail, its tail very different capuchin monkeys, the tail of subjects with most types of grip function. Some Old World monkeys (eg baboons) in the face, buttocks or chest skin with bright colors, particularly notable in the breeding season. Composed of a stiff hip skin lumps, called the hip corpus callosum.
  Most species in the chest or armpit nipple 1, the male's penis was hanging shape, the majority of a penis bone, female uterus with double or single uterine horn. Mostly omnivorous, _select_ion of food and feed in different ways.
  Propagation:
  Breeding 1 or 2 times per year, per child 1 Aberdeen, Aberdeen, a few can be more than to 3. Larvae grow more slowly. Sexually mature female menstruation and male mating performance at any time (except for low monkeys).
  Origin:
  First appeared in the primate are found in Europe and North America in recent fossil monkeys. They are without a claw nails. Three low wedge teeth tooth crown, more general, but the incisors increased, like flat chisel. Found in monkeys and more recent Paleocene strata.
  Since the beginning of Eocene lemurs classes appear, are included in the early rabbit monkey extinct families, their wide distribution, Asia, North America, Europe had a history of discovery. Now only the distribution of lemurs in Madagascar and the Comoros Islands, have not yet found a reliable fossils. Rex Monkey (also translated Shouhou) live only in Southeast Asia and the Modern South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, in tropical regions, fossils found in East Africa in the Miocene strata. Fossils found in monkeys glasses slightly. Starting from the Eocene found in Europe, Asia and North America. Near monkeys, lemurs, monkeys often known as the original glasses monkeys or lower primates.
  Distributed in higher primates, including monkeys and South America, broad nose and a narrow distribution in the Old World monkeys nose, narrow nose, and monkeys, including monkeys, apes and humans.
  Some of the systematic position of higher primate fossils certainly more difficult, such as: the great apes, mountain ape and two monkey.
  Social behavior:
  Most primates are social animals. Their lives and migration are carried out in droves. Their size varies according to species. In groups, there is a male adult individuals are leaders in the entire group.
  Humans and other primates is not only very similar physical characteristics, and social behavior is also very similar. Generally believed that this was mainly due to their highly developed brains, their behavior is also complex than other animals.
  Subordinate categories:
  Primates can be divided into two sub-orders:
  The original monkey suborder (strepsirrhini): the original monkeys.
  Mouse lemur families (cheirogaleidae)
  Lemur families (lemuridae)
  Hee monkey subjects (lepilemuridae)
  Large lemur families (indriidae)
  Refers to the monkey subjects (daubentoniidae)
  Slow Loris Branch (lorisidae)
  Infant Section (galagidae)
  Jane nose suborder (or suborder called apes) (haplorrhini): progress in monkeys, apes, man.
  Tarsier Branch (tarsiidae)
  Capuchin monkeys Branch (cebidae)
  Green Monkey Division (aotidae)
  Monks face monkey subjects (pitheciidae)
  Spider monkey subjects (atelidae)
  Monkey Division (cercopithecidae)
  Gibbon Branch (hylobatidae)
  Human subjects (hominidae)

  Why primates "primate" mean? Of living primates on the observation and study for our understanding of this issue provides some answers.
  Activities and hand dexterity matched primates developed three-dimensional vision. Forward looking eyes is almost the same goals, the brain can accept a pair of visual images. After treatment of the brain, to produce a depth image, image, and from feeling. This vault of primates in the forest road is very important. Dexterous hand with stereo vision, to make primates to observe three-dimensional objects from hand to any mobile object, and fiddle. These are characteristics of primates, the surrounding environment to fully grasp the pre-conditions, but also stimulate the curiosity of the driving force.
  Primates also develop the ability to identify colors, which may be related to its origins in the early nocturnal mammal with big eyes on. Early nocturnal mammals with big eyes at night in order to enhance the sensitivity to light, but when the origins of primates, they become increasingly active during the day, the retina of the eye on the big changes to be able to receive different colors. Able to distinguish colors help to identify a number of primate food, especially the dense tropical rain forest fruit on the tree.
  Thus, primates have a unique sense of control, able to touch, taste, hearing, especially in color vision and stereo vision feel all kinds of information input in the brain. Increasing the brain receives information from outside, and then all kinds of information can be classified into parallel, and eventually gave rise to the development of intelligence. This wisdom is not any other animal, which is why we put these animals called "primates" reasons.

Primates (fossil)

  Primates (fossil)
  1 mammalia primates head. For the omnivorous primates, with flexible limbs and fingers type fingers, fingers with nails without front claws or hooves. The eye increases, eyes front, more developed brain. Not specialized teeth, molars square, the upper and lower molars showed a four-point type, tooth type is 2 □ 1 □ 3 □ 3 or 2 □ 1 □ 2 □ 3. Primates are not highly specialized mammals, retain more general characteristics of true mammals 〔see MAMMALIA (fossil)〕. Many insectivorous primates with similar place, especially so early and lower species. For example, a new objective has been placed in a separate tree □, respectively, different scholars have been placed in primates or Insectivora is enough proof.
  Primates of the most notable is that human beings in their own classification system in biology are also placed in primate. Therefore, the study of fossil primates will be of human origin has a huge role. At the same time, due to the arboreal habits of primates, so less fossil, adds a small amount of primate fossils worth. As for the human fossils as human beings is directly related to the origin and the origin of such sensitive issues as race, even more compelling. Primates have a different classification scheme (see Table primates comparison of different classification schemes.)
  First appeared in the primate are found in Europe and North America for nearly monkeys (plesiadapids) fossils. They are without a claw nails. Three low wedge teeth tooth crown, more general, but the incisors increased, like flat chisel. Found in monkeys and more recent Paleocene strata.
  Since the beginning of Eocene lemurs class began to appear early in rabbits are classified as extinct monkey families, and their wide distribution, Asia, North America, Europe had a history of discovery. Now only the distribution of lemurs in Madagascar and the Comoros Islands, have not yet found a reliable fossils. Rex Monkey (also translated Shouhou) live only in Southeast Asia and the Modern South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, in tropical regions, fossils found in East Africa in the Miocene strata. Fossils found in monkeys glasses slightly. Starting from the Eocene found in Europe, Asia and North America. Near monkeys, lemurs, monkeys often known as the original glasses monkeys or lower primates.
  Distributed in higher primates, including monkeys and South America, broad nose and a narrow distribution in the Old World monkeys and apes and human nose, but also relating to fossil types. New World monkey fossils rare. Only capuchin monkeys and spider monkeys Section Division a small number of fossils found in South America, Oligocene and Miocene strata.
  Old World monkeys or monkey fossils found in the nose more narrow. However, only the early Oligocene ape Section 2 Deputy is found in North Africa. Fossils of a large number of monkeys found in the Old Section of the Miocene strata. In addition to a subject that has been extinct mountain mountain ape ape families represented. It is found in Late Miocene strata of Europe. Mountain Division ape ancestors had been regarded as the type of people, who believed that it could walk upright. Recent studies show that it may be placed in a narrow nose monkeys.
  Ape and human fossils found in more recent years, researchers have become more. The current problem is the more newly discovered information, the new method more, discovered more problems. For example, in the Palestinian areas about 30 km south of Haifa, Mount Caramel, Keba La Cave, discovered in 1983, reported a more complete skeleton, is typical of adult Nepalese people. French scientists recently used the TL method to measure the absolute age of 4.8 to 6 years. Therefore suggested that even if Nigeria is a typical, nor is the main branch of human evolution, but rather an offshoot (see Neanderthal man).
  Fossils of primates is very active in recent years, the morphology, taxonomy, evolutionary theory and other aspects of the depth, breadth and enthusiastic extent, even more than on the study of living primates.
