One of Bohol's big tourist attractions. You can feed them bugs on the Loboc river by hand, Dolores has done it. Very cute.

Necessarily or so says Wikipedia:

A primate is any member of the biological order Primates, the group that contains all the species commonly related to the lemurs, monkeys, and apes, with the last category including humans.

Demoptera (a kind of lemur) is a separate order

[Zkribbler]

From the Wikipedia article on tarsiers.

Tarsiers are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. Although the group was once more widespread, all the species living today are found in the islands of South East Asia.

Nevetehless, not all monkeys are primates, so it doesn't follow that teh smallest primate is also teh smallest monkey

I don't see you citing to or linking to any authority.

Whoops. Things have gotten a little hostile between Lord Shiva and myself. It seems to have put the brakes on this thread.

[q=Wikipoodia]The Primate order lies in a tight clustering of related orders (the Euarchontoglires) within the Eutheria, a subclass of Mammalia. Recent molecular genetic research on primates, flying lemurs, and treeshrews has shown that the two species of flying lemur (Dermoptera) are more closely related to the primates than the treeshrews of the order Scandentia, even though the treeshrews were at one time considered primates. These three orders make up the Euarchonta clade. This clade combines with the Glires clade (made up of the Rodentia and Lagomorpha) to form the Euarchontoglires clade. Variously, both Euarchonta and Euarchontoglires are ranked as superorders. Also, some scientists consider Dermoptera a suborder of Primates and call the "true" primates the suborder Euprimates (Hoffstetter, 1978) [6] .[/q]
