Primate evolution

Primates are a relatively new species and first appeared in the fossil record nearly 55 million years ago. They may have originated as far back as the cretaceous period. Their fossils were observed in North America, Asia, and Europe. Long before the first monkeys and their prosimian relatives developed, most animal species thrived and died. The first primates did not exist until about 50-55 million years ago, even though the planet is 4.54 billion years old and the first life goes back at least 3.5 billion years. Dinosaurs had been extinct for 10 to 15 million years when this happened.

The article I read was about the species “Australopithecus Afarensis” which most people can relate to because “Lucy’s species, the name Lucy was something I knew about already, however what type of Hominins was something I did not know. It was found in East Africa in a region of Ethiopia; it was discovered on November 24, 1974. It made news because it “ lived between 3.7 and three million years ago which means the species survived for at least 700,000 years more than twice as long as our own species, Homo sapiens ,has been around”. Also Lucy the Australopithecus was one of the first Hominin fossil to become famous because about 40% of her skeleton was complete when she was discovery in 1974 she was by far the most complete early Hominin know which help the scientist learn a lot just off the 40% percent of her skeleton remains that were found to study and learn more about the early Hominin. She is the second oldest Hominid skeleton discovered in the world. The first is the nickname…
