The document discusses primates and their classification. It describes the distinguishing characteristics between prosimians and anthropoids, and between apes and humans. The closest family to humans is identified as chimpanzees, with whom we share 99% of proteins and genes. The document provides details on the taxonomy of primates including their orders, suborders, and families. It outlines differences between prosimians and anthropoids, and between apes and humans in terms of locomotion, brain size, food intake, skin/hair, and female sexuality. References used are cited.

2. Topics to Consider in this Reporting
What is a primate?(history, qualities, char
acteristics etc.)
How we classified Primates? (it’s Order,
distinction between Prosimians & Anthropoids)
What are the distinctions between Apes and
Human?
What primate is the closest family of the
human? (Picture taking with the family)

4. Suborder Prosimi ‘before apes’
ex. Shrews, lemurs, lorises, bush bay, tarsiers.
Suborder Anthropoidea ex. Monkeys, apes, humans
Superfamily Ceboida: New World Monkeys
(ex. marmosets, capuchin)
Superfamily Cercopithecoida: Old World Monkeys
(ex. Macaques, baboons)
Superfamily Hominoida
Family Anthropoidii: the Anthropoid apes
(ex. Gibbon, orang-utan,
gorilla and chimpanzee.)
Family Hominidae:
Austropithecus [extinct Prehumans]
Homo habilis, H. Erictus. H. Sapiens
