Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prosimians and anthropoids have distinct facial features and ear structures. Prosimians tend to have more primitive facial structures and have greater ear mobility compared to anthropoids. Anthropoids have more advanced facial features and limited ear mobility. Therefore, examining these features can assist in determining whether an unknown primate is a prosimian or an anthropoid. Choice B, C, and D are irrelevant in determining if a primate is a prosimian or an anthropoid.
