Comparative analysis of primate genomes within a phylogenetic context is essential for understanding the evolution human genetic architecture and diversity. We present such study 50 species spanning 38 genera 14 families, including 27 first reported here, with many from previously less well represented groups, New World monkeys Strepsirrhini. Our analyses reveal heterogeneous rates genomic rearrangement gene across lineages. Thousands genes under positive selection in different lineages play roles nervous, skeletal, digestive systems may have contributed to innovations adaptations. reveals that key occurred Simiiformes ancestral node had an impact on adaptive radiation evolution.
