Which of the following human traits is not a shared characteristic of primates?
a
Hip structure supporting bipedalism
b
Detection and processing of three-color vision
c
Nails at the end of each digit
d
Enlarged brain area associated with vision, and reduced area associated with smell
Scientists speculate or hypothesize that primates evolved to have such traits as nails, grasping hands and feet, forward-facing eyes and depth perception because of their arboreal environs as well as the need to either hunt or to find flowery plants.
is this true or false?
Which of the following is NOT an ancestral trait in primates?
