A primate (L. prima, first) is any member of the biological order Primates, the group that contains all the species commonly related to the lemurs, monkeys, and apes, with the latter category including humans. The English singular primate is a back-formation from the Latin name Primates, which itself was the plural of the Latin primas ("one of the first, excellent, noble"). Primates are found all over the world. Non-human primates occur mostly in Central and South America, Africa, and southern Asia. A few species exist as far north in the Americas as southern Mexico, and as far north in Asia as northern Japan.

@Happysin same as most other primates in non-constrained situations. Mostly veggies w/ occasional meat bits when we can find 'em.

Hmm. If man really evolved from primates, then why are there still primates?? Shouldnt they all evolve?
