  1. adapid

    Adapid is a subfamily of extinct primates believed to be closely related to lemurs, primarily found in North America, Asia, and Europe. These early primates lived between the late Paleocene to middle Miocene epoch and are divided into five families. They had a wide range of body sizes and are known for their larger brain-to-body size ratio compared to other mammals of the epoch, reflecting a higher degree of intelligence. These characteristics suggest a close evolutionary relationship to modern humans.
