nonhuman primates

Nonhuman primates are a group of mammals that include monkeys, apes, and prosimians like lemurs. They are closely related to humans, sharing many biological and behavioral traits. Nonhuman primates are intelligent, social animals that live in diverse habitats such as forests and savannas. They use tools, communicate through sounds and gestures, and have complex social structures. Studying them helps scientists understand human evolution, behavior, and biology. They are an important part of ecosystems and are often studied in research to gain insights into health and medicine.
