KEY QUESTIONS • What general trends did the primate order follow through evolu- tionary time that are common in other mammalian orders? • What are the most important problems in trying to reconstruct the phylogeny of primates? • What key adaptations do humans share with nonhuman primates? • How great a departure is bipedalism from the mode of locomo- tion of monkeys and apes?
