Characteristics of Primates. All primate species possess adaptations for climbing trees, as they all descended from tree-dwellers. This arboreal heritage of primates has resulted in hands and feet that are adapted for climbing, or brachiation (swinging through trees using the arms).

The Primate Genome Project also generated high-quality reference genomes for another 16 primate species that were used in the accompanying papers to reveal hybrid speciation during the rapid radiation of the macaques (), the homoploid hybrid speciation in the snub-nosed monkey Rhinopithecus genus (), social evolution in the Asian colobines driven by cold adaptation (), and the evolutionary ...

The first fifty million years of primate evolution was a series of adaptive radiations leading to the diversification of the earliest lemurs, monkeys, and apes. The primate story begins in the canopy and understory of conifer-dominated forests, with our small, furtive ancestors subsisting at night, beneath the notice of day-active dinosaurs.

Primate - Evolution, Behavior, Anatomy: Primates occupy two major vegetational zones: tropical forest and woodland–grassland, and their adaptive diversity is probably related to adopting new patterns of locomotion. Nonhuman primates have a wide distribution throughout the tropical latitudes, but the numbers of many species are declining steeply.

Primate - Evolution, Adaptation, Diversity: Early primates were small creatures. Increased body size is associated with the adoption of supplementary sources of food and led to the transition to quadrupedalism. Size, diet, ecology, locomotion, and anatomy provide a constellation of causes and effects that are critical factors in the evolution of the primates.
