This title is intended for ages 6-12. While humans are different from monkeys, apes, and lemurs, they are all primates and are similar in many ways. For example, primates make many sounds that humans make, such as sneezes, burps, hiccups, and even laughter! This book identifies the members of the primate family tree and describes how they are different from each other. The book describes: reproduction, communication, and feeding; the complex social structures of primates; chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and gibbons; Old and New World monkeys; how people are different; what is being done to rescue threatened primates from destruction by their human cousins.
This is Book 8 in the Science of Living Things S. Series. See all Science of Living Things S. books here.
