Propliopithecids vs. Parapithecids. Adapids and Omomyids. Dryopithecus and Oreopithecus. With the exception of Gigantopithecus, many students struggle to differentiate between the various fossil primates. So, let's write about them, have a little fun, and help embed them in our brains. Create an original comic or storyboard that illustrates one of the fossil primates.

Primates are social creatures that live in various sized groups. They communicate with one another using vocalisations, body language, and facial expressions. Primates have a diverse diet that varies according to species and location.

Except for Antarctica, primates can be found all over the planet. They can be found in a wide range of environments, including rainforests, dry forests, savannahs, and mountains. Primates are key seed dispersers and predators of insects and small animals in their environments.

Humans are the only primates with language and complex cultures. We are also the only primates to have spread across all continents and adapted to a variety of habitats.

They are distinguished by a number of characteristics, including:

1. Primates have opposable thumbs on their hands and feet, which allows them to move their hands and feet with great dexterity. This enables them to hold objects, climb trees, and carry out other difficult tasks.
2. Binocular vision: Primates have eyes that face forward and overlap in their range of vision. This provides them with great depth awareness, which is necessary for travelling through trees and avoiding predators.
3. Larger brains: Primates have larger brains than other mammals of comparable size. This enables children to learn and recall information, solve problems, and communicate effectively with one another.
