added some detail
'''Primates''' are a group of mainly tropical mammals. Several hundred [[species]] belong to the order.

'''Primates''' is an order of mammals which share human-like characteristics. Several hundred [[species]] belong to the order.
They are often put into two large groups: the suborder Strepsirrhini, which include lemurs, tarsiers, and lorises; and the suborder Haplorrhini, which include the small tarsiers; the New World monkeys (spider and howler monkeys); Old World monkeys (languars and baboons); and the Apes, which, as formulated by most [[biologist]]s and [[Anthropology|anthropologists]], include the lesser apes (gibbons) and greater apes (gorillas, chimps, and orangutans). Some authorities include [[man]] with the genus that includes the great apes, a theory rejected by creationists.
