6. Molecular Biology and Primate Phylogenetics
...llas is an indicator of a relatively recent common ancestor, whereas, a comparison of chimpanzee and lemur beta hemoglobin indicates a far more distant common ancestor. More striking, but less intuitive, is the observation that chimps, humans, and even monkeys are all approximately equidistant from lemurs. This is because the common ancestor of all anthropoidea diverged from the common ancestor of lemurs at the same time, a very long time ago. Students use the data in table 1 to infer relative points of divergence since a common ancestor and, upon comparing gross anatomy to amino acid sequences for e...

...tudents choose a primate species for which they will conduct research and explore known social behavior patterns. Students may choose from any of the following primates: apes (e.g. gibbons, orangutans, chimpanzees, gorillas), monkeys (e.g. baboons, or mandrills), or prosimians (e.g. tree shrews and lemurs) known as 'lower primates.' There are approximately 235 known species of primates.
