Form and Function in Mammals
As mammals evolved, the form and function of their jaws and teeth became adapted to eat foods other than insects.
The joint between the skull and lower jaw allowed mammals to evolve larger, more powerful jaw muscles and different ways of chewing.

What Is a
Primate?
Primates’ arms are well adapted to climbing because they can rotate in broad circles around a strong shoulder joint.
In most primates, the thumb and big toe can move against the other digits. This characteristic allows primates to hold objects in their hands or feet.

Binocular Vision
a. Many primates have a flat face, so both eyes face forward with overlapping fields of view. This facial structure allows for binocular vision.
