Primates Portal

Primates Portal

Welcome to the Primates Portal, the place where anyone can learn about primates, their evolution, anatomy and behavior, as well as explore all of the hundreds of known primate species. The primate family includes gibbons, chimpanzees and humans, as well as distant primate relatives such as tarsiers.

It's easy to explore the primate tree... just hover on
« Primates to the left, navigating with the mouse and clicking on individual branches to learn more.

The Primate Portal project is just starting, and we're looking for contributors to help expand it. The Primate Portal is part of the Tree of Life Portal and the Earth Portal, which in turn are part of the overal Digital Universe Project.
