Non-Human Primate
A "Non-Human Primate" refers to any primate species that is not classified as human. This group includes various species such as monkeys, apes, and lemurs. Non-human primates are characterized by their complex social structures, advanced cognitive abilities, and diverse behaviors. They are found in various habitats, primarily in tropical forests, and play essential roles in their ecosystems.
These primates are often studied in fields like anthropology and biology to understand their behavior, evolution, and relationship to humans. Some well-known non-human primates include chimpanzees, gorillas, and capuchin monkeys. Their study helps scientists learn more about primate evolution and conservation efforts.
