Description: WEBEvolution of Primates. The first primate-like mammals are referred to as proto-primates. They were roughly similar to squirrels and tree shrews in size and appearance. The existing fossil evidence (mostly from North Africa) is very fragmented. These proto-primates remain largely mysterious creatures until more fossil evidence becomes available.

Description: WEBThe first true primates were found in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa in the Eocene Epoch. These early primates resembled present-day prosimians such as lemurs. Evolutionary changes continued in these early primates, with larger brains and eyes, and smaller muzzles being the trend.

Description: WEBJun 1, 2023 · Genetic mechanisms underlying primate phenotype evolution. Primates have evolved diverse phenotypic traits to adapt to their challenging environments. Here, we sought to investigate the evolution of complex phenotypes in the brain, skeletal system, digestive system, and sense organs, as well as body size, in primates.
