Biologists have long believed the common ancestor of all primates was a small, deliberate animal which used its grasping hands and feet to scamper along thin branches foraging for fruits and insects. They theorized that the leaping skills came later, after the proto-primate evolved into two distinct groups — wet-nosed primates like lemurs and dry-nosed primates that include monkeys, apes, and humans. However, the discovery of a perfectly preserved 52-million-year-old fossil seems to suggest that the first primate might have been leading an impressively acrobatic lifestyle, leaping from one tree to another.

- ewww약 8년it looks like a brain on the first picture
- Snow약 8년i mean they have proof i was thinking about it now i agree with robsterlobster not with boy yo bro any more.
- Jake약 8년Snow you know they actually have a machine that see how old something is
- glady약 8년the machine is a carbon dater
- taco약 8년the guy who said Why do they always assume that fossils are millions of years old? They have no proof of it! There hasn't even been any proof to assume that evolution exists!
- glady약 8년we have to assume that the fossils are millions of years old because it takes 10,000 years for a fossil to form and even though carbon dating is not that accurate it can only be a few thousand years off
- Jake약 8년We evolved from animals yet those animals have not evolved yet
- taco약 8년i also agree with Snow
- peterpiperofthy약 8년i agree too
