Abstract in brief

  • The study of both human fossils and our genome, along with that of our close ape relatives, helps us understand the adaptive changes that led to humans.
  • Exploring older fossils and the genomes of various living primates reveals the deep evolutionary roots of many human traits and the relationships among different primate groups.
  • Advances in anatomy, genomics, and molecular biology highlight critical evolutionary shifts in senses and brain structure that paved the way for the emergence of humans within the primate family.]

@Andrew381978 @Reason_Will_Win @InfiDale3476 "Anthropoidea includes all species, living and fossil, descended from the last common ancestor of extant anthropoids." It also admits that Old World and New World monkeys are universally accepted to be monophyletic. That logically makes us monkeys. https://t.co/oIF3GubgJm
