This is because 3% of their zygotes survive (low survivorship) but live up to 20 years to reproduce (high survivorship at the end: evolution of homo sapiens, primates. Arboreal adaptations: adapted to live in trees. Dexterous hands, feet, opposable thumbs and big toes. Large brains, complex social behavior: prosimians. Monkeys and apes (45 mya: hominids.
