You just watched the animation, "Recognizing Primate Morphology," which demonstrates several traits that are characteristic of the primate order. In particular, you saw how primates have several features that enhance their vision and their sense of touch and dexterity. These characteristics make primates particularly well adapted to what type of environment?

Answer:

The best answer to the question: These characteristics make primates particularly well adapted to what type of environment? Would be: the arboreal environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the video, primates, which subdivide into several groups, including the apes, from which also humans evolve, have, depending on their group, specific anatomical features and traits that allow them to survive in their environment. One such anatomical trait is the presence of larger brains than other mammals, long limbs, long fingers and strong lower limbs that allow them to adapt to tree life and survive in forest regions. Also, they tend to have a much more acute sense of vision due to their larger brain, but a much more limited sense of smell than other mammals. These characteristics become basic for them to live and survive in forest environments.
