      Evolution of the Special Senses in Primates. Considered together, the special senses of primates are remarkable because they constitute a singular and deļ¬nitive suite of mamma-lian characteristics. Examining their evolution is pivotal for understanding the origin and present-day variation of primate behavior and ecology.

      2 Evolution of Primates The rst primate-like mammals are referred to as proto-primates. They were roughly similar to squirrels and tree shrews in size and appearance. The existing fossil evidence (mostly from North Africa) is very fragmented. These proto-primates remain largely mysterious creatures until more fossil evidence becomes aailablev.
