<noembed><nolayer><div style="position:absolute; left:0; top:-100; display:none;"> Tarsiers:<br> Scenery in Java picture - The smallest primates ever (it&#39;s as small as a regular-sized finger), it&#39;s found here in Indonesia &#38; the Philippines, my native country. It&#39;s SO CUTE! &#34;Evolution v. Creation&#34; Tarsiers are man&#39;s distant cousins from our evolutionary past. It was back in the dinos time (when they ruled the earth) that the tarsiers were the 1st primates of this planet &#38; they operated only at tall trees during nite when dinos are asleep. Now that&#39;s why their eyes are big &#38; round so as to accomodate darkness. But when the dinos disappeared, it took a few more million years for these small primates to start going down the tall trees so as to check-out the ground which was already safe since the dinos are gone. And since the ground is such a VAST area to roam, then these small primates started making it their new domain (since the dinos are now extinct) &#39;coz living strictly on the trees can get tiring after millions of years! </div></nolayer></noembed>
