Primates are a group of mammals
including humans, apes, monkeys, lemurs and lorises. The physical adaptations
that all primates share are; a fairly generalized skeletal layout that can be
used for many different modes of locomotion, specialized forelimbs, hands and
feet, a larger brain especially the cerebral cortex, an omnivorous diet, stereoscopic
vision that helps in the perception of depth and measuring distance and a small
number of offspring at birth.
