Question

5 typical characteristics of primates?

Answer 1

Drink beer

Watching TV

Complain of politicians

Pollute

and ...

find somebody for the s*x ;-)

Answer 2

nails instead of claws, central foramen magnum, diernal(except for some lemurs and bush babies),  care of young for longer periods of time, foward facing eyes

Answer 3

1) Retention of the clavicle

2) 5 digits with opposable thumbs

3) Stereoscopic, color vision

4) Nails instead of claws on at least some digits

5) Larger brain/body size ratio compared to other mammals

6) Comparatively anterior-placed foramen magnum (this is somewhat true in all primates, but extremely pronounced in the bipedal ones).

Answer 4

forward-facing eyes for binocular vision (allowing depth perception)

# Increased reliance on vision: reduced noses, snouts (smaller, flattened), loss of vibrissae (whiskers), and relatively small, hairless ears

# Color vision

# Opposable thumbs for power grip (holding on) and precision grip (picking up small objects)

# Grasping fingers aid in power grip

# Flattened nails for fingertip protection, development of very sensitive tactile pads on digits

# Primitive limb structure, one upper limb bone, two lower limb bones, many mammalian orders have lost various bones, especially fusing of the two lower limb bones

# Generalist teeth for an opportunistic, omnivorous diet; loss of some primitive mammalian dentition, humans have lost two premolars

# Progressive expansion and elaboration of the brain, especially of the cerebral cortex

# Greater facial mobility and vocal repertoire

# Progressive and increasingly efficient development of gestational processes

# Prolongation of postnatal life periods

# Reduced litter size—usually just one (allowing mobility with clinging young and more individual attention to young)

# Most primates have one pair of mammae in the chest

# Complicated social organization
