Question

What are some charactertics that distinguish primates from other mammals?

Answer 1

different teeth, 5 fingers, pretty long infancy/childhood....and I thiiiink that all primates have fingernails instead of claws but I could be wrong about that. I know most have fingernails though.

Answer 2

Besides being able to hold objects with our vice-like grip, walk long distances as a group, wear clothes, make complex tools, and voluntarily control our breathing enough, to be able to speak a language, we are the only animal that can feed another (domesticated) animal just long enough until it trusts us, so that we can kill it, and eat it!

Answer 3

Hands with opposable thumbs, and feet that have similar functions to their hands.  They also have advanced problem solving ability.  And they can walk upright or bipedially from short distances.  They have family groups, and display a large ability to display their emotion, collective female support for the survival of newborn, and are omnivores.

Answer 4

the thumb thing and the use of tools.

Answer 5

opposable thumbs
