Prosimians: Ancient Living Primates
Welcome to the Primate Species List page. These links are provided as additional information to go along with the topics covered on my website. At the time of this posting, the links are all in working order, but if you come across one that doesn't work, please contact me at WWDD. This page was originally found on another website, which has subsequently been handed over to me. The content found on this site was not written by me, but I have edited some of the original content (i.e. updated links, etc.) as appropriate. My special thanks goes to Bob Patterson, the original author of this page, who graciously allowed me to use his content.
Prosimians: The Most Ancient Living Primates

What Are Cladograms? Cladograms show presumed relationships between organisms. Traditionally, the earliest (oldest, most primitive) forms are shown at the top, the most recent (youngest or most derived) at the bottom. The Prosimians, found chiefly in Madagascar, are listed on this page. The Platyrrhini are the New World monkeys. Cercopithecoidea are Old World monkeys, Hominoidea include the Gibbons, Lesser and Great Apes. A few extinct forms are asterisked. Taxonomic listings (these pages) generally follow the sequence of Orders, Families and Genera as revealed by such cladograms or taxonomic "trees." These trees are subject to change as newer and better information becomes available, especially from modern genetic and biochemical research. Learn more about Taxonomy, Systematics and Cladistics at the Taxonomy Page of this website. |
