Welcome to the planet of the apes. Primates are called the highest order of animal on the planet. With their big brains, they are smart and adaptable; they use tools, self-medicate, hunt and swim. Get to know the many species of primates, from the familiar chimpanzee and gorilla, to the more obscure species like the owl monkey, the tamarin, and many more in the three-part miniseries.

Meet the scientists making groundbreaking discoveries to safeguard the future of primates.
Family is everything for primates. Meet devoted monkeys' uncles and playmate apes.
Discover the survival strategies used by primates, often in the most unexpected places.
