How to use "Anthropoid" in context?
Anthropoid is an extinct primate that existed during the Miocene epoch. Anthropoids are distinguished from other primates by their elongated limbs and body, which gave them a capacity for locomotion that was superior to that of other primates.
Despite their elongated limbs and body, anthropoids were not slow or sluggish walkers. In fact, they had a strong, erect stance and were capable of running at high speeds despite their bulky build. This aided them in the procurement of food, as they were able to scamper quickly between tree branches and overland expanses in search of food.
