Document Summary
Probably about thirty multiple choice questions: worth half percent on final mark. Most revolutionary niche that worked out for primates are trees. Find food sources in the trees, largely bugs, saps that would not be available for critters on the ground. We are not the only species who can live in trees, but our particular collection of dwelling on trees. Many of them have opposable big toes as well. All these advantages give them the ways to reach high. We are technically apes cause our tails are primates. They are still strictly living in trees. We are the only specie capable of choking to death. Its not that weird to be up right if you"re a primate: probably emerged because we didn"t use our tongue the same way, the price we pay for our speech. Lucy was named after lucy and her walk in diamond.
