Document Summary
Concepts related to geology to understand how the world was different in the distant. Contents in what we call continental plates are on top and float on the mantle. The continental crash and shift are not where they once were. Crustal plates moving are really key features in shaping what the surface looks like. Position of continents has changed throughout time. Position of continents effects climate and such. (1) position of the continents influence the movement and distribution of animal species including primates. Allopatric speciation happens when species are split apart. Father from the equator is more temperate latitudinal gradient. Crnozoic era is when mammals (&primates) started to appear. Have a general understanding of the eras the order and more or less whats going on. Overall what was going on in terms of primate evolution. These characteristics distinguish primates from other animals. Grasping hands and feet and nails and stereoscopic vision evolved.
