However, until now, what do our very first primates were like still remain mysterious as we do not have sufficient information and evidences which are 60 million years ago. Yet, we still cannot deny that evolution occurs in creatures. No matter for humans, animals or plants, all of them will make changes because of their living habits and environment in order to survive. In this article, the author explains everything clearly about the primate evolution was taken around million years ago and ancestors are a small and nocturnal creature.

The change in topography in certain regions changed the types of foods that were available in those regions, which in turn could kill of species that only eat one food group such as fruit. If the climate becomes colder than the fruit could not grow ideally, and therefore primates who ate fruit as there primary source of nutrients would either have to find another food group to adapt to or face extinction. The largest change is obviously one of change in terrain.

As rapid temperature increase created new environments a rapid cooling in the beginning of the Oligocene limited the range of habitats greatly.
