Primate characteristics: pentadactylism, grasping hands with opposable thumbs, tactile pads, nails on some or all digits, forward facing eyes, generalized teeth. Increased encephalization: *all primates have petrosal bulla, complex social groups, complex forms of communication, generalized characteristics. How do primates move: locomotion, quadrupedal: walking on all 4 legs, vertical clinging and leaping (vcl, brachiation: arm swinging, bipedal: habitually just humans.
