Figure 32.15 Evolution of primates.
Primates are descended from an ancestor that may have resembled a tree shrew. The descendants of this ancestor adapted to the new way of life and developed traits such as a shortened snout and nails instead of claws. The time when each type of primate diverged from the main line of descent is known from the fossil record. A common ancestor was living at each point of divergence - for example, there was a common ancestor for hominines about 7 MYA, for the hominoids about 15 MYA, and one for anthropoids about 45 MYA.
