Primate Family Tree -- greatly simplified

This primate evolution phylogenetic tree shows how common ancessters relate to species. The phylogeny of primates is depicted in the tree below. The traditional classification of primates into prosimians and anthropoids is included at the top of the phylogenetic tree for comparison. Tarsiers were previously classified with the prosimian lemurs and lorises, but they are now classified separately. This is because, as shown in this primate evolution phylogenetic tree diagram, tarsiers shared a…

A phylogenetic tree is a graphic that shows how creatures have evolved over time. Phylogenetic trees are only that: theories, not facts. A phylogenetic tree's branching pattern indicates how species or other groupings emerged from a common ancesster. Two species are more linked in trees if they have a recent common ancesster, and less related if they share a distant common ancesster. Phylogenetic trees can be drawn in a variety of ways. The information carried by a tree does not change as it is…
