Gradistic method: based on grade- similar anatomical complexity (look or act the same) Gradistic division= prosimians and anthropoids (monkeys, apes, humans) Results bc tarsiers are more like lemurs and lorises physically. Tarsiers are gentically closesly related to other hapslorhines. Which division you choose affects how you classify apes and humans. 97-99% of dna share between humans and chimps s : wet (strep-strip-wet) Strepsirhines: lesser primates; more similar to eary primates. Least closely related to us; lemurs, lorises and galagos. Haplo are more sexually dimorphic (male and female same size) , postorbital socket and see color. Some have prehansile tails- has dermal ridges (spider monkeys) Live in old world areas (africa and asia) Miss waldron"s red colobus: first monkey to become extinct. Cercopithecines: rounded teeth adapted to more diverse diet. Live in mixed habitats, suitable model for early hominids. Green vervets in st kitts and nevis (old world monkey that lives in new world.
