Answer #1

The living primates are divided into two sub-orders. Until recently the sub-divisions have been the lower primates or Prosimii and the higher primates or Anthropoidea. The division is based on relative brain size. Brains sizes of lower primates have similar size to other mammals while higher primates have large brain size relative to body size.
