Primates that walk on two feet are now called

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: 'Primates that walk on two feet are now called'. In anthropological terminology, the term used for bipeds within the human lineage is hominins.

However, in this particular item, the answer options are missing from the provided data. Without a list of choices to compare, we cannot perform the usual option-by-option evaluation (identifying which choices are accurate or inaccurate, and explaining why other options are incorrect).

If a typical set of options were present, one would expect at least one option to correspond to 'hominins' and others to refer to broader primate groups (such as 'apes,' 'monkeys,' or more specific subgroups like 'great apes' or 'homo sapiens' in ways that might be misleading). In practice, the precise term for two-footed primates within the human lineage is indeed hominins, distinguishing them from other non-bipedal primates.

To proceed productively, please provide the answer options so I can perform a complete, option-by-option analysis and clearly explain why the correct choice fits and why any incorrect choices would be misleading.
