Solution

Primates:

  1. Primates is a taxonomic order that includes a diversified group of animals such as Lemurs, Lorises, Tarsiers, Monkeys, Apes and Humans.
  2. Humans are not descendants of modern-day monkeys or other apes.
  3. Monkeys had evolved from pro simians to become the dominant primates by the time the Oligocene Epoch began.
  4. We have a common ancestor with chimpanzees that lived millions of years ago.
  5. Chimpanzees and humans evolved from the same ancestor in different ways, although sharing the same ancestor.
