prosimian

Diurnality is not seen in any other prosimian.

Its brain is larger and more deeply convoluted than that of any other prosimian, suggesting a somewhat greater intelligence.

'And 20 others, and that was just the prosimian.'

The Aye-aye is the world's largest nocturnal prosimian, and dwells predominantly in forest canopies.

His eyes were bright and bulging, like a lemur's, like a hungry prosimian awakened from its diurnal slumber.

Godinotia is an extinct genus of prosimian ("pre-monkey") primate belonging to the Adapidae family.

The silky sifaka uses well-developed olfactory (smell-based) communication, as with all other prosimian ("pre-monkey") primates.

It provides new insight into the phylogenetic relationships between simians and prosimians (especially the phylogenetic position of the haplorrhine prosimian tarsiers).

This diurnal prosimian further diversifies its diet by consuming not only fruits, but certain flowers, seeds and verdant leaves, in proportions that vary by season.

The prosimian that is seen as the pet of the German SS Major (Sturmbannführer) is called the Red Slender Loris.

Because tarsiers, as well as some extinct prosimians, share a more recent common ancestor with monkeys and apes than with other prosimians, the prosimian are a paraphyletic group and not a clade.

The third upper molar (M3) is more reduced in the false potto than in any other prosimian, according to Schwartz, but Leon notes that western pottos also have a relatively small M3.

In 2009, a highly publicized and scientifically criticized publication proclaimed that a 47 million-year-old adapiform fossil, Darwinius masillae, demonstrated both adapiform and simian traits, making it a transitional form between the prosimian and simian lineages.

Treeshrews were moved from Insectivora to the Primates order, because of certain internal similarities to the latter (for example, similarities in the brain anatomy, highlighted by Sir Wilfred Le Gros Clark), and classified as a primitive prosimian.

The authors of the paper describing Darwinius classified it as a member of the primate family Notharctidae, subfamily Cercamoniinae, suggesting that it has the status of a significant transitional form (a "link") between the prosimian and simian ("anthropoid") primate lineages.
