Fossil ancestor of small primates
Text created by automatic translator Elia and has not been subsequently revised by translators. Elia Elhuyar
Paleontologists have found fossils of small primates that seem to be 38 million years old in the Egyptian desert. This means that the small primates that have been discovered are the oldest fossils of the ancestors. Therefore, they hope that the ancestor of man will be an indication to know when he separated from the branch of prosimos. It must be borne in mind that, observing in the tree of the evolution of primates, it is still not possible to know when the primates (the man, the gorilla, the chimpanzee...) and the prosims (the lemur, the lemurids and the small primates) separated, although most believe that it was 65-70 million years ago.
