Ecology - GeneralWhen we determine the evolutionary relationship between different primates we use their physical traits If some of those primates are have fully enclosed eye orbits full post orbital wall and some of them don t then this would be considered a shared derived trait useful for understanding evolutionary relationships a unique trait a convergent trait O a homologous or ancestral trait not useful here
