38) List and describe the development of anatomical features that occurred during primate evolution.

Binocular vision: the snout is shortened, allowing the eyes to be on the front of the head. This produces an overlapping field of vision, giving primates a three-dimensional view.

Large, complex brain: the cerebral cortex is expanded. This portion of the brain is devoted to sight, as well as controlling and processing information received from the hands and thumbs. This results in good hand-eye coordination.

Reduced reproductive rate: primates tend to have one birth at a time, which allows for an increase in parental care of the offspring. An extended juvenile period allows for an emphasis on learned behavior and complex social interactions.
