Answer:

The difference between primates and non primates is that primates possess a voluminous and complicated fore-brain whereas non-primates possess a small brain.

Primates refer to an order of mammals characterized by the large brain, usage of hands, and complex behavior. Humans, apes, monkeys, chimpanzees, gorilla, lemur, baboon, and orangutan are examples of primates. They exhibit a high level of social interaction and cultural adaptability. Their hands, tail, as well as feet, are prehensile. Most of them possess five fingers in each hand (pentadactyl). Their thumb is opposable, enabling grasping with the palm. They can hold their food and grab branches. However, the feet of humans are not prehensile. The limbs of the primates are highly dexterous from the shoulders and hip joints. This is ideal for swinging through trees.

Non-primates refer to any animal that is not a primate. Birds, reptiles, amphibians and some mammals are non-primates. Generally, non-primates possess non-prehensile limbs or tails. Some non-primates such as insects possess jointed appendages. Their shoulders and hips are not flexible. Thus, their thinking ability and intelligence are lower than those of primates
