Primates are characterized by large brains relative to other mammals, as well as an increased reliance on stereoscopic vision at the expense of smell, the dominant sensory system in most mammals. These features are more developed in monkeys and apes and noticeably less so in lorises and lemurs.

Primates are the mammals that belong to order primate. Primates are divided into two groups which contain prosimians (including lemurs, lorises, galagos and tarsiers) and anthropoids (monkeys and apes - including humans).
These are the certain characteristics of primates:
Unfused and highly mobile radius and ulna in the forelimb and tibia and fibula in the hind,
Comparatively poor sense of smell,
Prehensile five-digit hands and feet possessing flat nails instead of claws
Primate teeth are distinguishable from those of other mammals
The mammals which do not have these characteristics are called non- primates.
