Exploring Our Primate Ancestry: The Influence of Soft Fruits on Human Evolution

Tracing Dietary Patterns of Early Anthropoids

The dietary habits of our ancient primate ancestors have long intrigued researchers, shaping debates on their evolutionary journey. Recent research¹ unveils compelling insights into their diet, shedding light on key aspects of human evolution.

Unraveling the Primate Family Tree

Understanding our primate lineage requires delving into the complex web of evolutionary relationships among apes, monkeys, and humans. While we often categorize ourselves differently, we are all part of the anthropoid family tree, tracing back to a common ancestor about 40 million years ago.

This critical phase of primate evolution witnessed significant diversification, with genetic and fossil evidence highlighting key milestones in the emergence of anthropoid primates.
