    Extractions: Web posted at: 7:21 p.m. EDT (2321 GMT) WASHINGTON (AP) Hunting and the steady loss of forests have made primates the most imperiled group of mammals on the planet. Only one species of primates is increasing in numbers: humans. Nearly half of the 235 primates, including chimpanzees the human's closest evolutionary relative are threatened with extinction. Another 20 percent are approaching that status, said a report published Thursday by Worldwatch Institute. "In general, the reasons for the declines are no mystery: they all relate, directly or indirectly, to human actions," said the report entitled "Death in the Family Tree." It spotlighted a number of "hotspots" around the world where forest loss has resulted in high concentrations of endangered primates. These include southeast Asia, equatorial Africa, Madagascar, and southeastern Brazil. "The fate of these forests will largely determine the fate of most primates, and more and more of these forests are losing their ecological integrity as they are logged, colonized and cleared for agriculture," the article said. In south and east Asia, nine-tenths of all primates are facing extinction. In Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans the ape most dependent on trees have lost 80 percent of their forests in the past two decades.

    Extractions: One in every three of the world's apes, monkeys, lemurs, and other primates is now endangered with extinction, according to a report released this week by Conservation International (CI) and the Primate Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Primate species and sub-species classified as "critically endangered" and "endangered" jumped nearly two-thirds from 120 to 195 since the initial report was issued in January 2000. Asia now accounts for almost half of the world's most endangered primates, with 11 listed in the top 25, including six that are new additions. Africa (eight), central and South America (three), and Madagascar (three) are home to the other primates on the list. These include the Sumatran orangutan of Indonesia, the mountain gorilla of Africa, and northern muriqui of Brazil. The Natuna banded leaf monkey, (

    http://www.sidwell.edu/us/science/vlb5/Labs/Classification_Lab/Eukarya/Animalia/
    
    Extractions: The primates belong to the class Mammalia. They show all of the normal features of mammals, including hair and mammary glands for nursing the young. They are endothermic, have vertebrae and a skeleton, and are segmented deuterosomes, with a coelom made from an outgrowth of the digestive tract. Primates are eutherians, meaning that they have a placenta that provides a more intimate relationship between mother and child while the mother nurses the child. Eutherians are also the mammals with the longest relationship between mother and young. The above features make the animals of the order Primates also eutherians, mammals, vertebrates, and chordates. There are 13 families in the order Primates. You can click to learn about family Homonidae, the family that humans belong to. Below are the other twelve families, divided into two suborders.

    Extractions: Among them are orangutans, including a young male who can often be seen clinging to his mother. As guests round the corner they encounter brightly-colored mandrills with blue and red faces. A group of white-cheeked gibbons also reside here and amaze visitors with their agility as they swing throughout their exhibit using only their long arms. It is also outside where guests can visit another gorilla group made up of a silverback male, a younger blackback male, and two females.

80. Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections: PRIMATES
    primates The ordinal name primates, means the first or primary animals. primatesare mainly arboral mammals, but terrestrial forms occur in several groups.  
    http://brainmuseum.org/Specimens/primates/
    
    Extractions: A single species, Homo sapiens , is nearly worldwide in distribution. Otherwise other members of the order are found in the Americas from eastern and southern Mexico to southeastern Brazil, most of Africa, Madagascar, the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, south-central and southeastern Asia, Japan and the East Indies as far as Sulawesi and Timor. Walker includes 13 Families, 71 genera and 233 species within the Order Primates. Since humans are themselves primates, the order has attracted much interest and investigation, and there are numerous views on classification, especially between the order and family levels. Simpson's (1945) scheme is followed by Walker. Family Lemuridae Family Lorisidae Family Galagonidae Family Tarsiidae Family Cebidae Howler monkey (Alouatta palliata.)
