Primate Suborders Figure 10.1: Summary of traditional primate classification.

PROSIMIANS Lemurs Lorises Tarsiers

Pygmy slow loris Nocturnal (large eyes, some lack color vision) Grooming claws

Elongated snout “dog like” (especially in lemurs)

Mouse lemur Moist noses (except for Tarsiers )

Locomotion: Vertical Clinging and Leaping Bush baby (loris)Tarsier

SUBORDER ANTHROPOID (monkeys, apes, humans) Larger body size Greater reliance on vision Complex social structures Larger, more complex brains Infraorders: PlatyrrhiniCattarrhini New World monkeysOld world monkeys Apes Humans

Monkeys (Old World and New World) True Quadrapedal locamotion (Branch walking) Tails

Infraorder Platyrrhini (New World Monkeys)

Platyrrhini Arboreal Flat nose Claw-like nails (in some)

Platyrrhini Prehensile tails (in some) Partial opposability dental formula

Infraorder Catterhini (Old world monkeys, apes, humans) dental formula: Superfamily: CercopithecoideaHominoidea Old world monkeysLesser apes Great apes Humans

Cercopithecoidea (old world monkeys) Both terrestrial and arboreal Tails, not prehensile

Cercopithecoidea Fully opposable thumbs Legs longer than arms

Hominoidea (Apes and Humans) Built for brachiation/ suspensory climbing No tails Precise opposibility Large body size Expanded Neo-cortex, increased learning Variable diet, 5Y molars Families: HylobatideaPongidaeHominidea (Lesser Apes)(Great Apes)Humans GibbonsOrangatan SiamangsGorillas Chimps Bonobos

Hylobatidae (Lesser Apes) Brachiation (suspensory climbers) No tails

Lesser Apes Arms longer than legs Arboreal

Pogidae (Great Apes) Africa: Gorillas, Chimps, Bonobos Asia: Orangatans

Locomotion: Arms longer than legs Knuckle walking Semi-upright posture

Hominidae (Humans) Bipedal stance No tails Legs longer than arms

Hominidea Social Cultural Precision grasp strong thumbs

Long postnatal dependencey Slow maturation
