因为人们已在三个灵长类生物间发现了这种效应。最近的是在一个关于黑猩猩的研究中，它提出这种效应有进化论的根基。
Because this effect has been observed in three primate species, most recently in a study of chimpanzees, it suggests this effect has evolutionary roots.
这项系统发育研究由国际范围内的研究者共同承担，旨在揭示灵长类的起源、进化、物种形成模式和基因组谱系分化中的独特之处。

她指出蛇是早期灵长类动物的第一天敌，并导致了人类对蛇的相对敏感的视觉系统进化 --这样可以快速的发现蛇类 --这使得我们今天仍可以受益 。

A misunderstanding of evolutionary theory has given way to the idea that humans came from modern-day primates.
一些持进化论观点的生物学家声称，学术的头脑是历史的怪胎：人类和其他灵长类动物一样，生来就该具备迅速观察到危险和机会的能力。

果真如此的话，通过观察与我们亲缘关系最近的灵长类动物之间的沟通交流，就可能从中发现某些线索，证明人类语言到底是怎样从咕哝有声或者打手势进化而来的。
If so, it should be possible to find clues about how human language evolved from grunts or gestures by observing the communication of our close primate relatives.
而且在她的踝关节处那片名为距骨的骨头，其形状跟朝我们人类这个分支进化的灵长类成员的骨头非常相似。
Also, a bone in her ankle called the talus is shaped like members of our branch of the primates.
周一，研究人员们说此发现显示灵长类大脑进化时间比原来认为的要晚。
The finding indicated that primate(2) brain enlargement evolved later than once thought, the researchers said on Monday.
艾达是迄今为止所发现的保存最完美的灵长类动物化石，已有4700万年的历史，她来自我们人类进化史上的一个关键时期。
Ida is one of the most immaculately preserved primate fossils ever found and, at 47 million years old, she comes from a key moment in our evolutionary history.
她总结说，“灵长类动物和鲸类的大脑的认知能力基本上处在同一是水平，只是进化方式截然不同。”
She concluded, "Essentially, the brains of primates and cetaceans arrived at the same cognitive space while evolving along quite different paths."
Dunbar是一位英国的人类学家和进化生物学家，他在1998年提出，对于任何一个灵长类动物，他所能维持的关系数量都有一个认知限度。
Dunbar, a British anthropologist and evolutionary biologist, argued in 1998 that there is cognitive limit to the number of relations that any one primate can maintain.
因此这也提出了一个问题，为什么自我意识只在灵长类动物之中进化，他们面对着亲缘关系较远的物种多次进化的大问题。
And so instead of asking how self-awareness evolved only among primates, they face the larger question of how it evolved multiple times in distantly related species.
据说意识或思考在较高级灵长类的进化中已出现。
Consciousness or cerebration has been said to have emerged in the evolution of higher primates.
因此，世界上“绝对”公平是不存在的。除非是在猴子之间：曾经在实验室证明，两只高度进化的灵长类通过使用工具而合作获取了果实并平分食物。
Therefore, there is no "absolute" justice in the world, except those happened in monkeys improved in lab where two highly evolved Primates Shared their nuts by helping each other in using tools.
他说：这个化石是架起高等灵长类如猴、猿、人类和他们更远的亲戚如狐猴之间进化空缺的桥梁。
The fossil, he says, Bridges the evolutionary split between higher primates such as monkeys, apes, and humans and their more distant relatives such as lemurs.
尽管大多数人更多地把自己当成灵长类动物，或哺乳动物或是地球人，而非日行性生物，但这是一个进化的基本事实。
This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings any more than we think of ourselves as primates or mammals or Earthlings.
