WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR ANY WHO ANSWERES THESE (or whatever you can) What are primates?

List and describe the four traits that primates have in common.

What type of evidence shows that some species of primates are closely related?

When did humans diverge from apes?

Does evidence show that evolution occurs as a linear path or a branching tree?

What is paleoanthropology?

1) A primate is any mammal of the group that includes lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans. The order Primates, with its 300 or more species, is the third most diverse order of mammals, after rodents and bats.

2)Characteristics of all primates include four limbs, collarbones, a high degree of mobility in their shoulders, forward facing eyes, relatively dexterous hands, and a high degree of intelligence. Primates are an incredibly diverse genera, ranging from humans to lemurs.

3) 5-6 million years ago.

Most molecular clocks at the time, and many since, put the split between humans and chimpanzees at only around 5-6 million years ago.

5) Paleoanthropology, also spelled Palaeoanthropology, also called Human Paleontology, interdisciplinary branch of anthropology concerned with the origins and development of early humans. Fossils are assessed by the techniques of physical anthropology, comparative anatomy, and the theory of evolution.

sorry couldn't answer number 4.

but I hope this helps.

answer; ///i believe the correct answer is (aids) acquired immune deficiency syndrome;

genetic variation will increase because of a new habitat and food source.
