are the only cercopithecine group found in Asia and Europe. They are
extremely successful, and include wide-ranging species such as <em>M.fascicularis</em>, <em>M.fuscata</em>, <em>M. nemestrina</em> and <em>M. mulatta</em>.
Macaques have the widest distribution of any nonhuman primate group.
In part, this may be due to their generalized anatomy. They are
medium-sized cercopithecines, characterized by long snouts, high-crowned
molar teeth having low cusps, long third molars and simple stomachs.</p>
