While it began with the last common ancestor of all life‚ the topic usually covers only the evolutionary history of primates‚ in particular the genus Homo‚ and the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of hominids (or "great apes"). The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines‚ including physical anthropology‚ primatology‚ archaeology‚ linguistics‚ evolutionary psychology‚ embryology

Apes have more capacity to learning then a human but it always seems that primates only care about living eating and using the bathroom whenever

Studying primate dentition is a relatively old topic. There have been many studies conducted to find more information on primate dental morphology. The research is conducted to try and distinguish the relationship between diet and primate dentition. Primate teeth have several functions‚ but their primary function is the mastication of food. Their dental morphology reflects the various functions demanded by the variety of food types—shearing‚ chopping‚ grinding. Generally‚ incisors function chiefly
