   Extractions: Linnaeus Families A primate is any member of the biological order Primates , the group that contains all the species commonly related to the lemurs monkeys , and apes , with the last category including humans Primates are found all over the world. Non-human primates occur mostly in Central and South America Africa , and South Asia . A few species exist as far north in the Americas as southern Mexico , and as far north in Asia as northern Japan The order Primates was established by Linnaeus in 1758, in the tenth edition of his book Systema Naturae for the genera Homo (humans), Simia (other apes and monkeys), Lemur (prosimians) and Vespertilio (bats). In following editions, he also suggested that non-primate mammals should be called Secundates and that non-mammal animals should be called Tertiates , neither of which was accepted.

Most dwell in tropical forests. The smallest living primate is the pygmy marmoset, which weighs around 70 g; the largest is the gorilla, weighing up to around 175 kg. Primates radiated in arboreal habitats, and many of the characteristics by which we recognize them today (shortened rostrum and forwardly directed orbits, associated with stereoscopic vision; opposable hallux and pollex ; unfused and highly mobile radius and ulna in the forelimb and tibia and fibula in the hind) probably arose as adaptations for life in the trees or are primitive traits that were retained for the same reason. Several species, including our own, have left the trees for life on the ground; nevertheless, we retain many of these features. Primates are usually recognized based on a suite of primitive characteristics of the skull, teeth, and limbs. Some of these are listed above, including the separate and well-developed radius and ulna in the forearm and tibia and fibula in the hindleg. Others include pentadactyl feet and presence of a clavicle. Additional characteristics (not necessarily unique to primates) include first toe with a

The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right.

    Extractions: March 3, 2008 A newly found species small enough to fit in the palm of a hand is North America's oldest known primate, according to a new study. Christopher Beard, a paleontologist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, recently discovered fossils of the 55-million-year-old creature on the Gulf Coastal Plain of Mississippi. Enlarge Photo Printer Friendly Email to a Friend SHARE Digg StumbleUpon Reddit RELATED Named Teilhardina magnoliana, the animal is related to similarly aged fossils from China Europe , and Wyoming 's Big Horn Basin. "They are very, very primitive relatives of living primates called tarsiers, which live today in Southeast Asia," Beard said. But the layer of rock in which the new fossils were found raises the controversial possibility that primates appeared in North America before their close relatives showed up in Europe, as previous studies had suggested, Beard added.

Champ, Tina, Carmen (who’s now in her 50s), Buffy, April and Uriah wobbled around with their 20 lb. watermelons, smashed them open, or dribbled them like basketballs for the full length of the outdoor living area. It was a festive way to bring the chimpanzees into our celebration of this week’s official merger between Friends of Animals and the Texas-based sanctuary Primarily Primates. A truck brought the 80 watermelons - plenty to go around for 65 chimpanzees. The hours-long watermelon party was, we can reveal, a smashing success. Baby Grace jumped up and down on one to crack it open.

Many of our sanctuary residents are elderly, and a large number come from a medical research and testing background. Dr. Kirk is ever alert for subtle signs that an animal may be developing health issues, while keeping up a full workload of routine exams, vasectomies, and sometimes major surgery. Recently Dr. Kirk vasectomized more than a dozen tamarins. They were part of a group of 130 tamarins and marmosets, all placed at Primarily Primates by a university researcher who used them in a colon cancer study before he lost funding.

    http://brainmuseum.org/specimens/primates/index.html
    
    Extractions: A single species, Homo sapiens , is nearly worldwide in distribution. Otherwise other members of the order are found in the Americas from eastern and southern Mexico to southeastern Brazil, most of Africa, Madagascar, the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, south-central and southeastern Asia, Japan and the East Indies as far as Sulawesi and Timor. Walker includes 13 Families, 71 genera and 233 species within the Order Primates. Since humans are themselves primates, the order has attracted much interest and investigation, and there are numerous views on classification, especially between the order and family levels. Simpson's (1945) scheme is followed by Walker. SUBORDER STREPSIRRHINI
