The claim that extant great apes and Miocene apes have an uninterrupted fossil record in Africa is not currently supported.
<h3>What started the evolution of primates?</h3>
The early primates most likely descended from a small, nocturnal, insectivorous mammal. Tree shrews and colugos, sometimes known as flying lemurs, are the two species that are most similar to primates. A living illustration of early primates or primate ancestors' appearance is the tree shrew.
<h3>Why are we not still descended from apes?</h3>
Like chimpanzees, we did not develop from a contemporary living primate. Our common ancestor with apes, who lived and perished in the distant past, is where we evolved and descended from. This indicates that we share ancestry with other apes.
