Understand that primates are divided into two main suborders based on their evolutionary traits and characteristics.
The first suborder is Strepsirrhini, which includes lemurs, lorises, and galagos. These primates typically have a wet nose or rhinarium, which is a key distinguishing feature.
The second suborder is Haplorhini, which includes tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans. These primates generally have a dry nose and more complex brain structures compared to Strepsirrhini.
Recognize that the classification into Strepsirrhini and Haplorhini is based on both genetic and morphological differences.
Remember that this classification helps scientists understand the evolutionary relationships and adaptations of different primate species.
