In case you want to go back to Part 1 or Part 2 . (But you don't need to!) No, you absolutely don't need to revise or remember anything from the previous 2 posts. Here's where we left off: And all you really need to remember is the key words at the bottom of the image. We're all eukaryotes => have an advanced cell structure We're all animals => have the ability to "move it!" We're all chordates => we have a convenient nervous system We're all mammals => we have mammary glands and hair We're all primates => we have complex brains and grasping hands MOVING ON So, with the advantages of several ancestors, we made it to the group of advanced primates which are divided into the tarsiers, the new world monkeys, the old world monkeys and the apes. The last 3 (Happlorhines minus the Tarsiers) are also collectively called the simians or anthropoids. Humans fall under the Superfamily Hominoidea , and hence are a

One big reason is, we're now zooming in closer from all life to our particular species and it will be a lot easier to relate to whatever the classification system describes to us. Colored words in each list show where we fall. The bottom bar reminds you of the important stuff, so you don't need to memorize anything. It also acts as sort of a progress bar which shows how deep we have reached in the classification system so far in the post. This is where we left the last post at, and for a quick recap let's remind ourselves that thank god, we belong to the: Domain Eukaryota : I can't be too sure, but I'd miss my nucleus, mitochondria and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't exist in prokaryotes Kingdom Animalia : the other options were to be a plant, a fungus, a protist, or a m
