Sagot :
The selective pressures operating in the late miocene, pliocene, and pleistocene that favored the adaptive radiation of monkeys and contributed to decreased diversity among apes are :-
- The primates migrated from Africa to Europe and Asia.
- The sudden changes in the environment and the ecology was the reason behind the migration to the different parts.
- The sudden cooling in the northern latitudes led to the extinction of apes.
- The changes in the sea levels that made a path to travel through made the migration possible.
How did the changes cause the diversity among apes?
- The plate tectonic movement caused the formation of the mountain ranges and the shifting of the oceans, this caused a drastic change in the environment and the ecology.
- The rainforests changed into woodlands and grasslands and at some other parts the decrease in rainfall caused the decrease in forest area and less food availability in that area.
- The change in environment caused the decrease in forest area in Africa and that caused the extinction of the apes and the new era apes that have adapted the environment then survived and moved to different parts of the world for survival.
