Primate
Primate: is a mammalian animal constituting the taxonomic order Primates. Primates arose 55-85 million years ago from small terrestrial mammals (Primatomorpha), who adapted to living in the trees of tropical forests: many primate characteristics represent adaptations to life in this challenging environment, including large brains, visual acuity, color vision, altered shoulder girdle, and dexterous hands.
