The order Primates arose in the fossil record during the Eocene (56-33 million years ago).The fossils of these early primates possessed particular traits that are recognized as “true primate” features – forward facing eye sockets, large brain, complete postorbital construction to protect the eye, an opposable big toe and nails instead of claws. Included in the order Primate are strepsirrhines (lemurs and lorises), and haplorhines (apes, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys).Today, primates can be found in terrestrial and arboreal environments in Africa, Madagascar, Asia and Southeast Asia, parts of the Middle East, Central and South America.
