…primates, collectively known as the anthropoids, are extremely conservative in their structure; morphologically speaking, they have maintained a position in the evolutionary midstream and have avoided the potential stagnation of specialized life near the banks.
The simians, anthropoids, or higher primates are an infraorder (Simiiformes / ˈ s ɪ m i. ɪ f ɔːr m iː z /) of primates containing all animals traditionally called monkeys and apes.
The Order Primates is divided into two groups: prosimians and anthropoids. Prosimians include the bush babies and pottos of Africa, the lemurs of Madagascar, and the lorises of Southeast Asia. Tarsier, also from Southeast Asia, show some prosimian-like and some anthropoid-like features. Anthropoids include monkeys, apes, and humans.

The papers collected in this volume summarize the state of our knowledge about the origins of Anthropoidea—monkeys, apes, and humans. Considering how important this group is for understanding human evolution, and the enormous literature that has grown up around...
