What is the primate order?

Answer 1

Primates are an order of mammal that does not have any particular characterising defining features; however, their evolution does have characteristic trends including:

forward-facing, more stereoscopic vision

graspers with a lack of claws (exception grade 1 primates and the Callitrichids (new world monkeys that re-evolved them on all digits but the big toe) and development of nails

opposable thumbs

reduced snouts

tactile pads on hands and feet

They have a generalised dental pattern

there is an increased emphasis on vision as opposed to olfactory sences

there is a tedency toward larger brains to body size

there is a tedency toward colour vision

longer gestation

singleton births (typically)

flexible learning behaviour
A primate is the closest living animalistic relative to humans, sharing about 96% of their DNA.

Answer 2

The Primate Order is a Mammalian order consisting of 5 grades split into prosimians (grade 1 and 2) and anthropoids (grade 3, 4 and 5) (each with subdivisions), grade 1 are all extinct and resemble todays treeshrews (which are not primates), grade 2 are prosimians such as lemurs, grade 3 are the tarsiers which have characteristics of both prosimians and anthropoids but DNA shows they are anthropoids. Grade 4 are the monkeys which are divided into New and Old world (and each again have subdivisions). Grade 5 are the apes (lesser and great)
