Proposed changes to primate taxonomy: primate taxonomy is in transition, name change in primate suborders: traditional: (prosimii/ Anthropoidea) first one is lemurs and shit and second are humans ; Proposed: (strepsirrhini/ haplorrhini) they are genetically closer the classic is more about physical characteristics: sesame street game, reclassification of the great apes (family names): traditional: The proposed change recognizes the genetic similarity and puts everyone (great apes and humans) in hominidae and then we would branch into different subfamilies and tribes: humans are more similar to chimpanzees than horses are to zebras.
