A recent fossil discovery supports the theory that higher primates came from adapidae. Adapids are believed to be the precursors of lemurs.

In what could prove to be a landmark discovery, a leading paleontologist said scientists have dug up the 47 million-year-old fossil of an ancient primate whose features suggest it could be the common ancestor of all later monkeys, apes and humans.
