		Going back to R. Martin's definition of fossil primates the euprimates share claws replaced by nails, opposable hallux (big toe) and postorbital closure (among other things) in common with all modern primates.The euprimates are divided into two families, the adapidae and omomyidae.
		The adapidae are composed of two subfamilies: nothartinae (5 genera) and adapinae (14 genera).

		The "Adapids", members of family "Adapidae", are an extinct family of prosimian prosimian primate primates that lived during the Eocene Eocene era, Adapids are believed to be generally lemur lemur-like, and are considered by many to be the probable ancestors of modern lemur lemurs and loris lorises.

	Omomyid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fossils of omomyids are found in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
		They are one of two groups of known Eocene primates, the other being the adapids (Adapidae).

		Detailed research description: The focus of my research efforts is the understanding of the functional, adaptive, and phylogenetic significance of the anatomy of the limb skeleton in extant and fossil prosimian primates.
		The fossil members of this group, the Adapidae and Omomyidae, are the earliest known primates, and all living primates are thought to have descended from these forms.
		This group of primates, then, can provide clues to the early adaptive history of the order, and help identify the probable selective forces which shaped the basic morphology of this group.

		Give two explanations for the selective forces that shaped the morphologies of these groups.
		Eocene (55ñ45 mya) primates belong to two families, the Omomyidae and the Adapidae, both found in North America and Europe.
		Omomyids are similar to modern tarsiers, with huge eye sockets, sharp shearing teeth, and long grasping hands.

	Evolution of Primates
		The second adaptive radiation was dispersal of prosimian-like primates, represented by two families, Adapidae and Omomyidae.
		Eocene euprimates in the families Adapidae and Omomyidae achieved a prosimian grade of development, and although their anatomy still contains archaic features, they are classified as prosimians.
		For example, brain sizes are relatively small compared to those of modern prosimians.
