The evolutionary trends for all primates include several characteristics that are generally observed across the group. However, in the context of your question, the option that does not apply as a general trend for all primates is:
**e. bipedal locomotion for primary movement.**
While some primates, such as humans, are primarily bipedal, most primates (such as apes, monkeys, and prosimians) primarily use other forms of locomotion (e.g., quadrupedalism, arboreal movement). Therefore, bipedal locomotion is not a trend observed in all primates.
