Most ancient primates - lemurs (semi-apes) 65 million years ago - Primates
28 million years ago - Parapithecus Aegyptopithecus
Pliopithecus- gibbons and Dryopithecus- orang-utans, chimpanzee, gorilla 14-15 million years ago - Hominids
12 million years ago - Australopithecus

Anatomical features of man:
- upright, straight-legged walking
- omnivorous diet - fruit, seeds, meat
- higher nerve activity - cerebrum grew in mass, forehead bone straightened, forehead part of the brain was positioned above the eyes orbits
- upright walking - head has a balanced position above spine .’. decrease of size of cervical vertebrae - powerful muscles at neck

Characteristics of primates:
- ability to perform skilful things with hands
- flexible hands, feet - 5 digits
- eyes on front of face - colour vision
- rely on vision rather than smell
- complex brain and behaviour
- complex ways to communicate
- long pregnancy - female reproductive rate
