    What are the major groups of primates? I thought that this question was very interesting because primates are the closest living relatives to humans. Primates are fascinating because they resemble a primitive or basal version of ourselves and at the same time are also quite different from us as well.

    Primate socio-ecology varies and has different determinants that decide many different characteristics. As a virtual paleontologist‚ we discovered two different sites and skeletal remains in Kenya and deductively reasoned their mating habits‚ group size‚ and several other characteristics about the Praeanthropus dimorphicus and the Praeanthropus monomorphicus with what I know about primate socio-ecology.

    size and bipedalism. Humans‚ like other primates are considered as Order Primates in the Hominidae family and therefore are a prime example of taxonomy when the two diverged into different species. During taxonomy when humans diverged from their ancestors 6 to 7 million years ago‚ the result is the differences such as walking upright‚ brain size and overall skeletal structure are prominent due to the divergence of humans and other primates. Although primates and humans both share many anatomical‚
