Paleocene mammals of the world |
 | | The earliest known euprimates belong to the families Adapidae and Omomyidae (4). |
| | Both groups already possessed the advanced grasping and leaping adaptations and the correlated large brain that characterize modern primates. |
| | Both are poorly known, however, and it is not even sure that these animals are related to the primates at all (26). |
