CHAPTER 6
An Overview of the Primates
Primates
• To identify crucial features of the evolution of human
species, we start by comparing ourselves to our 230
non-human relatives
• Living primates are not “better” than their evolutionary
predecessors or other living species.
• Each possesses unique qualities that make it better
suited to a particular habitat and lifestyle.
Physical Characteristics of Primates
• Specialized limbs and locomotion
• Lack of dietary specialization, reflected in dentition
• Visual acuity and reduced sense of smell
• Neocortex expansion and greater dependence on
learning
Social Characteristics
• Longer period of gestation and dependency of
offspring
• Dependence on flexible, learned behavior
• Social groups and permanent association of adult
males
• Diurnal activities
Geographical Distribution and Habitats
Primate Habitats
• Most live in tropical or semitropical areas of the new and
old worlds.
• Most are arboreal, living in forest or woodland habitats.
• No nonhuman primate is adapted to a fully terrestrial
environment; all spend some time in the trees.
Primate Diet and Teeth
• Omnivorous
• Incisors for biting and cutting; premolars and molars for chewing
and grinding
• Dental formula
• New World Monkeys have two incisors, one canine, three premolars, and
three molars on each side in both upper and lower jaws: 2.1.3.3. (34 total)
• Old World anthropoids have 2.1.2.3 (32 total)
Primate Limbs
• A tendency towards erect posture.
• Hands and feet possess grasping ability.
• Features of the hands and feet:
• 5 digits on hand and feet
• Opposable thumb
• Partially opposable great toe
• Tactile pads enriched with sensory nerve fibers at the
ends of digits
Limbs and Evolution
• Many monkeys are able to grasp objects with
an opposable thumb, while others have very
reduced thumbs.
Limbs and Evolution
• Humans are capable of a
“precision grip.”
• Chimpanzees, with their
reduced thumbs, are
also capable of a
precision grip, but they
frequently use a modified
form.
Locomotion
• Quadrupedal, walk on all fours
• Vertical clinging and leaping
• Brachiation
• Knuckle walking

Locomotion
• Quadrupedal, walk on all fours
• Vertical clinging and leaping
• Brachiation
• Knuckle walking
Anatomy, Limb Proportions and Locomotor Patterns
Quadrupedal
• Almost all primates are
at some times
quadrupedal, they walk
on all four legs.
• Apes use specialized
8. form, knuckle walking,
due to arm length
Quadrupedal
Knuckle walking: Weight
is on back of fingers not
palms due to arm length
Anatomy, Limb Proportions and Locomotor Patterns
Vertical clinging and leaping.
• Hangs on trees or
branches vertically
and uses strong hind
legs to leap forward
or backward.
• Notice long hind
legs capable of
powerful leaping and
shorter front limbs.
• Characteristic of
lemurs, and tarsiers
Vertical clinging and leaping
9. Anatomy, Limb Proportions and Locomotor Patterns
Brachiating
• Locomotion by
suspending body from
one arm and swinging
forward and switching to
the other arm (think
monkey bars)
• Semibrachiators also leap and
often use prehensile tail
• All apes are capable of, and
occasionally braciate
• Notice arms longer than
legs, long curved fingers
and shortened thumb,
lower back is short and
stabilized
• Characteristic of gibbons
and siamangs
Brachiating
Primate Senses
10. • Increased reliance on sight in comparison to other
mammals
• Primates have a decreased reliance on the sense of
smell.
Vision
• Stereoscopic Vision
• Visual images are superimposed on one another providing
depth
perception (three dimensions).
• Stereoscopic vision is partly a function of structures in the
brain, visual
input is shared with both hemispheres of the brain.
• Binocular Vision
• Vision characterized by overlapping visual fields provided for
by forward-
facing eyes.
• Binocular vision is essential to depth perception
• Color
• Color vision is a characteristic of diurnal primates.
• Nocturnal primates lack color vision.
11. Binocular Vision in Primates
Comparison of Primate Skulls
• The skull of a male
baboon compared with
that of a red wolf.
• Note the forward-facing
eyes above the snout in
the baboon, and the
lateral position of the eyes
of the wolf.
• The baboon’s large
muzzle doesn’t reflect a
heavy reliance on smell.
Comparison of Primate Skulls
• The skull of a gibbon (left)
compared with that of a
red wolf (right).
• The absolute size of the
braincase in the gibbon is
12. slightly larger than that of
the wolf, even though the
wolf is six times the size of
the gibbon.

• The capacity to solve problems, whether through the
application of previously acquired knowledge or through
insight.
• The other great apes have also shown the ability to problem
solve
Endangered Primates
• Over half of all living primates are endangered, many face
28. immediate extinction.
• Three reasons:
• Habitat destruction
• Hunting for food
• Live capture for export or local trade
Hunting of Primates
• In West Africa the most serious problem is hunting to feed
the growing human population.
• Estimated that thousands of primates, are killed and sold
for meat every year.
• Primates are also killed for commercial products.
