Primates are a diverse group of mammals that includes monkeys, apes, lemurs, and humans ourselves. What sets them apart is their high intelligence, flexible behavior, and complex social lives. Many primates use tools, display problem-solving skills, and communicate with a wide variety of facial expressions and vocalizations.

Physically, primates share traits like forward-facing eyes for depth perception, flexible hands and feet for grasping, and large brains relative to body size. These features have helped them adapt to a range of environments, from the treetops of rainforests to urban landscapes. Great apes like chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas are especially close to humans in DNA, shedding light on our own evolutionary path.

This edition of World-Wide Q&A explores primates not just as animals, but as cousins in nature’s grand family tree. They remind us how intelligence, cooperation, and curiosity have deep roots in our shared biological history.
