Many critics have bashed facial recognition software for its inaccuracy, especially when it comes to non-whites The video in question had no connection to monkeys or primates.

The visual acuity and colour perception of simians is comparable to those of diurnal reptiles and birds -- groups that never left the daytime niche, the researchers said.  

Seven chimpanzees of different ages and sexes living in the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University were part of the experiment.

Frequent grooming among mandrills, a primate of the Old World monkey family, is undoubtedly a means of eliminating ectoparasites.

 Researchers have found that a diet rich in fruits may have been responsible for larger brain size in primates.

Officials at the International Union for Conservation of Nature's global conference in Honolulu confirmed that the majestic species of Eastern Gorillas (Gorilla beringei) now faces the risk of disappearing completely, with just 5,000 left on Earth.

Brain specialisations such as improved vision preceded the development of large brains in primates, our closest cousins, confirms a new study.

Mouse lemurs, like all other lemurs, are native to the island-nation of Madagascar.

Lemurs are primates that look something like a cat crossed with a squirrel and a dog, endemic to the island of Madagascar.

With the big animals gone forever, climate change could get worse, according to a new study.

Often regarded as idle conversations in which people engage in to pass the time or kill an awkward silence, chitchat and small talk could be a social-bonding tool passed down from primates, new research suggests.

The brain cells suggest that human and other primates retain a visual pathway that traces back to the primitive systems of vertebrates like fish and frogs.
