Final answer:

Lorises and Golden Lion tamarins are not Anthropoid primates, as lorises are prosimians and tamarins are New World monkeys, while baboons and orangutans are classified as anthropoids.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the following are Anthropoid primates EXCEPT Lorises. Anthropoids include monkeys, lesser apes, and great apes. Lorises belong to the group of primates known as prosimians, which also include the bush babies of Africa, the lemurs of Madagascar, and the tarsiers of Southeast Asia. Prosimians tend to be nocturnal and smaller in size with relatively smaller brains compared to anthropoids. Baboons are part of the ceropithecoids (monkeys of Africa and southern Asia), Golden Lion tamarins are New World monkeys, and Orangutans are great apes and part of the hominoid group, all of which are classified as anthropoids. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both lorises (option B) and Golden Lion tamarins (option C) are not Anthropoid primates, making answer E correct.
