PPT-INTRODUCTION TO PRIMATES AND PRIMATE TAXONOMY

Taxonomy Each taxon tells us more about that groups adaptations Makes important biological statements about genetic amp evolutionary relationships Adaptive Radiation The evolution amp spreading out of related species into new environmental niches. Then count all of behaviors you found and add them up Reaching for something Pulling apart or peeling food Scratching Grooming another primate Hitting or pushing another primate Throwing something Playing with a toy Hanging from a branch Use basic o onhuman primates occupy a special niche as models for health and disease because, with their close phylogenetic relationship to humans, they often closely mirror the physiological processes that take Understanding Humans 10. th.

Evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.. Biological evolution is defined as organisms reproducing but experiencing changes with each generation. Evolution can happen in a small and large context. There are small genetic changes between generations, as well as large changes that happen over multiple generations.. Dr. Habibur Rahman, Associate Professor, J. N. College, Boko. Aims of Taxonomy. .

Primates are a group of placental mammals . They include lemurs, monkeys apes and humans . Parental Care . Primates invest a long time in parental care for a small number of offspring . Primate offspring are almost helpless when they are first born.
