NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020
Solution:
Monkeys and humans are primates but humans do not descend from the monkey. Humans are evolved from ape.
The first primates are thought to have evolved as 65 to 70 million years ago, during the Palaeocene Epoch of the Tertiary Period. With the extinction of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous, many terrestrial niches became available and predation pressures were somewhat relaxed. The earliest primates descended from a small, nocturnal, insectivorous mammal known as tree shrews are the closest living relatives to primates.
There are two branches of primates, i.e., Prosimians and Anthropoidea. Prosimians included Lemur, Loris and Tarsiers. Anthropoidea, the higher Primates includes ape, monkey and human. Ape and monkey evolve from tarsiers.
