Perrier's sifakas (Propithecus perrieri) are among the rarest of all lemurs. Restricted to a small, shrinking range in northeastern Madagascar in just 3 locations. Threatened mainly by habitat destruction, hunting, and fire. Listed as Critically Endangered. Photo: © globalherping/iNaturalist/CC 4.0.

Black-headed night monkeys (Aotus nigricepsi) are endemic to Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. Socially monogamous, they live in small groups of an adult pair and their offspring of different ages. Males carry and care for the infants. Wide-ranging in most of their habitat with no major threats.

Ancient people took wallabies to Indonesian islands in canoes
Humans established a wild population of brown forest wallabies in the Raja Ampat Islands thousands of years ago for their meat and fur in one of the earliest known species translocations

We are part of a toolmaking and tool using family of primates. Many of our ancestors and relatives translated those abilities to the durable materials of stone and bone, starting more than 3 million years ago. Which species made them? Probably all.

All the hominins made tools
A study of associations between stone tool evidence and fossil hominin remains shows that a wide range of species made stone artifacts.
