Universal Decimal Classification
Primates are mammals possessing a generally accepted group of physical characteristics. These include opposable thumbs, a relatively large brain, eyes that are oriented towards the front of the head, two nipples and stereoscopic (binocular) vision.
Until recently, taxonomists have generally adopted the similar classification systems proposed by Simons in 1972 and Fleagle in 1998. According to these systems, the primate order was divided into two sub-orders: the prosimians and the anthropoids.
Prosimians included lemurs, lorises and tarsiers, grouped together because they were considered morphologically more primitive than other primates. The anthropoids comprised all other primates – in other words, monkeys, apes and man.
