Summary Anthropology Research Paper
Complex evolutionary history requires a complex theoretical framework, which might explain the lack of consensus among scientists regarding the exact hypothesis as to why primates evolved the way they did. This paper sets out to offer a detailed overview of the three competing theories on the origin of primates and to discuss their representative strengths and weaknesses. It will incorporate scientific case studies testing these theories and evaluating the results. With this comparative analysis, this paper aims to reach a conclusion as to which, if any, of these three theories is the most convincing from a scientific evidence standpoint.
