![]() ![]() In contrast, Anthropoidea by Mivart dates to 1864, while Simiiformes by Haeckel dates to 1866, leading to counterclaims of priority. According to Robert Hoffstetter (and supported by Colin Groves), the term Simiiformes has priority over Anthropoidea because the taxonomic term Simii by van der Hoeven, from which it is constructed, dates to 1833. Primatology, paleoanthropology, and other related fields are split on their usage of the synonymous infraorder names, Simiiformes and Anthropoidea. In the Anthropoidea, evidence indicates that the Old World and New World primates went through parallel evolution. Despite this preferred taxonomic division, " prosimian" is still regularly found in textbooks and the academic literature because of familiarity, a condition likened to the use of the metric system in the sciences and the use of customary units elsewhere in the United States. Strong genetic evidence for this is that five SINEs are common to all haplorhines whilst absent in strepsirrhines - even one being coincidental between tarsiers and simians would be quite unlikely. Under modern classification, the tarsiers and simians are grouped under the suborder Haplorhini, while the strepsirrhines are placed in suborder Strepsirrhini. ə/ from Ancient Greek ἄνθρωπος ( ánthrōpos) 'human', and -οειδής ( -oeidḗs) 'resembling, connected to, etc.'), while the strepsirrhines and tarsiers were grouped under the suborder " Prosimii". In earlier classification, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, apes, and humans – collectively known as simians or anthropoids – were grouped under Anthropoidea ( / ˌ æ n θ r ə ˈ p ɔɪ d i. The remaining simians (catarrhines) split about 25 million years ago into Cercopithecidae and apes (including humans). The radiation occurred about 60 million years ago (during the Cenozoic era) 40 million years ago, simians colonized South America, giving rise to the New World monkeys. The simians are sister group to the tarsiers (Tarsiiformes), together forming the haplorhines. More precisely, they consist of the parvorders New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) and Catarrhini, the latter of which consists of the family Cercopithecidae ( Old World monkeys in the stricter sense) and the superfamily Hominoidea (apes-including humans). ɪ f ɔːr m iː z/) of primates containing all animals traditionally called monkeys and apes. The simians, anthropoids, or higher primates are an infraorder ( Simiiformes / ˈ s ɪ m i. Monkeys (which from a strict cladistic sense includes apes, and thus humans). ![]()
