The comparative analysis of primate genomes within a phylogenetic context is crucial for understanding the evolution of the human genetic architecture and the inter-species genomic differences ...

The diet of early anthropoids—the ancestors of apes and monkeys—has long been debated. Did these early primates display behaviors and diets similar to modern species, or did they have much humbler ...

A new dataset of genetic information collected from 233 primate species, the largest and most complete of its kind, promises to yield insights into primates’ evolutionary biology and how genetics ...

Characterising how the totality of primate diversity is distributed across the order, and how it evolved, is challenging because diversity in individual traits often show opposing phylogenetic ...

The story of primates is a tale of incredible variety and ancient roots, told through the lens of science, DNA, and time itself. These creatures, ranging from massive gorillas to tiny mouse lemurs, ...

The diet of early anthropoids – the ancestors of apes and monkeys – has long been debated. Did these early primates display behaviours and diets similar to modern species, or did they have much ...
