Primates are our closest living biological relatives. So perhaps it's time to show a little hospitality and stop destroying their homes.

About 60 percent of the world's monkeys, apes, tarsiers, lemurs and other primates are now threatened with extinction because of widespread agricultural and logging operations that are destroying forest habitats at a rapid clip, scientists found.

Of the world's 504 primate species, roughly 75 percent already have declining populations, according to a study published this week in the journal Science Advances.
