whats is the difference between anthropoids and hominoids?

in homonoids their arms are longer than their legs. Anthopoids have binoccular vision. Anthropoids are also not capable of producing human like sounds.

Protohominids, even though there is little fossil record or evidence, refers to the earliest members of the hominid anscestral line. 7-5 m.y.a these early hominids would have displayed behaviors similar to chimpanzees of present. These earliest members of hominids were bipedal allowing them to carry objects, such as "naturally sharp stones or stone flakes, parts of carcasses, and pieces of wood.

We humans are known as a "small species", rather as cheetahs are. We both went through a " bottle neck " event that reduced species size considerably. So that very few became the ancestors of very many.\n\nPS Cheetahs are a " smaller " species than humans are.

Different species,evolve differently and we are a different specie than apes.The apes are evolving too it takes longer than the human eye can see in large animals.Small creatures can be observed under a microscope in there process of evaluation and your own cells as well.You can also observe evolution in your own body when you catch a cold you will never catch the same virus again because you have built up a resistance to it.When you get a sun tan your body is changing to adjust to the increased exposure by changing to a deeper color.I really wish you could expand your mind and try to believe with all the beauty in nature why would god choose to be in the image of man and the evil things we do to everything.  Good Luck!

Humans and the other apes evolved from a common ancestor. That ancestor split from what we call monkeys some time before that.\nwww.talkorigins.org has a lot of good information. There is a good article here:\nwww.nature.com/nature/focus/hominid\n\nI also second the recomendation of www.becominghuman.org

Humans are in the:\n\nDomain:  Eukarya\nKingdom: Animalia\nPhylum: Chordata\nSubphylum: Vertebrata\nClass: Mammalia\nOrder: Primate\nFamily: Hominidae\nGenus: Homo\nSpecies: Homo sapiens\nSubspecies:  Homo sapiens sapiens\n\nHumans are further broken down into races based on physical characteristics such as hair type and color, skin color, features, etc.

No people, regardless of skin coloration, skull index or brain volume, were "made" from apes.\n\nThere is irrefutable evidence that humans and apes had common ancestors, evidence not in the shape of bones of a missing link but in the shape of shared genetic and developmental (in the formation of the embryo) characteristics. There is as irrefutable evidence that none of the modern apes that inhabit our planet today are ancestors of the modern humans.\n\n"White people" are descended from black people who bred from a limited gene pool in an environment where little sun light and cold climate favoured people whose skin had a high ultraviolet uptake and longer noses. In times of malnutrition, this slight advantage in access to Vitamin D may have been the difference between a healthy individual and a sickly individual to choose between for mating.\n\nLeaving aside the question whether evolution is based on random events, planned divergences by an active creator or morphic resonance, fact is that selective breeding is an accepted method to emphasize traits in a race. Among humans, who changed independent wolves into trustful dogs (not without cooperation from the first wolves-turning-into-dogs) and fierce aurochs into rather tame milk cows the idea of breeding themselves is ancient, too. Blood relation to successful leaders were selected as leaders just by this virtue, maybe because for some time the successful leaders did produce able offspring. Less able offspring then managed to insist on that tradition, and the concept of inheritable nobility was born.

Different apes.  Both people and present-day apes evolved from a common ancestor which was ape-like, but not the same as a present-day ape.

Monkeys are NOT ancestors of humans; they share the same common ancestor. this question does not have a simple answer; you need to study cladistics and phylogenic trees such as these to understand.\n\nhttp://www.personal.psu.edu/students/a/v/avh5000/\nhttp://www.origins.tv/darwin/hominid.htm\nhttp://www.4colorvision.com/files/phylotree.htm

They are two different species. Bonobos are believed to have broken away about two million years ago.\n\nBonobos are smaller than chimpanzees, and have a more humanlike frame, with square shoulders and long lean limbs. Bonobos walk upright from time to time, where chimps stick strictly to their knuckles for the most part.\n\nChimps are a more "warlike" ape, and male dominated. Bonobos have a culture heavily focused on easing tensions within the group, and they usually accomplish this via sex. Bonobos are quite promiscuous, and will engage in sexual activity for just about any reason - recreational, easing tensions, as a favour, or in celebration. Bonobos also tend to be somewhat matriarchal - the most influential apes are the females.

A) the number of offspring-\nEven if you didnt know this, you could figure it out by the process of elimination, going from monkeys to apes (even including humans)- Primates have gotten bigger (apes are bigger in general than monkeys) apes (and humans) live longer than monkeys, apes (and humans) take many more years to raise children than monkeys, and apes (and humans) dont sexually mature for a very long time compared to monkeys- That only leaves (A).  If you think about it, apes and humans generally only have a single offspring at a time, at most one a year-thats about as decreased as you can get.  Of course, Elephants may only have one offspring ever, but they arent primates.

There are three obvious differences:\n1.Apes are larger than monkeys\n2.Monkey's have tails, apes don't\n3.Apes are smarter than monkeys

Ok, Anthropoids include New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, apes, and humans. Some of the general characteristics are:\n-Larger brain.\n-Smaller olfactory/nasal regions (worse sense of smell because our noses don't stick out as, say, a dog's.).\n-Better manual dexterity (meaning they can manipulate things with their hands, like humans do, instead of batting things around with paws, like cats do).\n-Fully Binocular vision (both eyes focus on the target, instead of each eye doing its own thing).\n\nAs for impacts on humans... Hmmm... I'm just making this part up as I go along, but possible influences and negative effects could be given as (+ = positive impact, - = negative impact):\n+Larger brain lets us process more information, so we're smarter, so we can make use of our other skills and have more meaningful interactions; such as communicating while hunting, or creating new tools.\n-Smaller olfactory regions would mean worse sense of smell, so it would be harder to track things be scent, or smell predators.\n+Better manual dexterity lets us make and use tools, build shelter, and process food (like harvesting and preserving crops for winter).\n+/-Full Binocular vision limits us to tracking only one thing at a time, but it also lets us judge distances for things like jumping, and track movement so we can catch things.

Technically, we don't differ from primates since Homo sapiens are primates.  Monkeys, lemurs, apes and hominids all belong to the order Primates.   \n\nI'm assuming your question is "How do we differ from other primates?"  So, I'll answer that instead.  \n\nWe are unlike the other primates physically in that we do not have opposable thumbs on our feet.  Our hipbones are structured differently to facilitate vertical walking.  Due to this, unlike other primates, humans are the only obligatory bipedal primates.  One misconception is that humans are hairless relatives of apes.  In fact, we have just the number of hair follicles per square centimeter of skin that one would expect on an animal of our size.  It's just thought our hair is unpigmented and finer and shorter than most other animals so it's not as visible at a glance.    \n\nApart from physical characteristics, our advanced brain size and capacity exceeds that of lesser primates.  This allows us to have abstract thought and use logic and other ideas that lesser primates are capable of.  Our use of tools and external objects to compensate our physical shortcomings is unrivaled not only among other primates, but among all other organisms.  \n\nWe do have some common characteristics with primates.  After all, we are supposed to have descended from a common ancestor.  Like other primates, we have opposable thumbs on our hands.  Also, all primates have five fingers (not counting my old shop teacher, Mr. Windslow).  All primates have fingernails instead of claws, or other keratinous apendages.  In general, primates are social creatures.  All primates also have forward facing eyes, useful for depth perception.  Humans are similar to most primates in that we are both omnivorous, meaning that we have the physiology to eat and digest both plant matter and meat.

no they are a different species

First of all, there is no such thing as a "missing link," anthropologists have known that for yeras. Humans are a type of ape (in the superfamily Hominoidea, which contains gibbons, siamangs, orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas). The last common ancestor has not been found or definitely defined, but is expected to be found to have existed between 4.5 and 6 million years ago. Examples from that era include the Australopithecus (one species is the famous "Lucy").

Apes and humans.  As opposed to feathered bipeds, birds.
