Chimpanzees are very aggressive, yet gorillas are usually more calm and gentle. Prosimians-the small of the primates and usually look the weirdest. New world monkeys- don"t fit the stereotypical monkey, look like gremlins and very time. Apes-argentines, gorilla: name change in primate suborders: traditions: prosimii/antrhopoidea. Proposed name change: strepsirrhini/ haplorrhini---this would move the tarsiers into the monkeys and apes and this reflects the genetic relationship of monkey and apes: a reclassification of the great apes (family names): traditional: Pongidae/hominidae propsed changed all hominidae; different subfamilies and tribes-we would all be in the same family and differ in subfamilies and tribes. Observational-going out in the field for years and observe what primate life was about- jane goodall- studied chimps and then dian fossey- stupid the mountain gorillas and was murdered in her camp.
