Discuss the evolution of the hominids from the anthropoids What will be an ideal response?


The anthropoids include monkeys, apes, and humans. They are divided into three
superfamilies: the Old World monkeys, the New World monkeys, and the Hominoidea (apes
and humans). The Hominoidea include three families: the great apes, the lesser apes, and the hominids (family Hominidae). Hominids include humans and their extinct ancestors. The
development of the hominids from earlier ancestors was strongly influenced by a change in
climate from tropical to cooler and drier with a related change in vegetation type from forest
to grassland or savanna.
