They share some traits with the most <a href="/wiki/Basal_(phylogenetics)" title="Basal (phylogenetics)">basal</a> primates, and thus are often confused as being ancestral to modern monkeys, apes, and humans. Instead, they merely resemble ancestral primates. Lemurs are thought to have evolved during the <a href="/wiki/Eocene" title="Eocene">Eocene</a> or earlier, sharing a closest common ancestor with <a href="/wiki/Loris" title="Loris">lorises</a>, <a href="/wiki/Potto" title="Potto">pottos</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Galago" title="Galago">galagos</a> (<a href="/wiki/Lorisoid" class="mw-redirect" title="Lorisoid">lorisoids</a>). <a href="/wiki/Fossil" title="Fossil">Fossils</a> from Africa and some tests of <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_DNA" title="Nuclear DNA">nuclear DNA</a> suggest that lemurs made their way to Madagascar between 40 and 52 mya. Other mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence comparisons offer an alternative date range of 62 to 65 mya. An ancestral lemur population is thought to have inadvertently <a href="/wiki/Oceanic_dispersal" title="Oceanic dispersal">rafted</a> to the island on a floating mat of vegetation, although hypotheses for <a href="/wiki/Land_bridge" title="Land bridge">land bridges</a> and <a href="/wiki/Oceanic_dispersal" title="Oceanic dispersal">island hopping</a> have also been proposed.

Having undergone their own independent evolution on Madagascar, lemurs have diversified to fill many <a href="/wiki/Ecological_niche" title="Ecological niche">niches</a> normally filled by other types of mammals. They include the smallest primates in the world, and once included some of the largest. Since the arrival of humans approximately 2,000 years ago, lemurs are now restricted to 10% of the island, or approximately 60,000 square kilometers (23,000 square miles), with many facing <a href="/wiki/Extinction" title="Extinction">extinction</a>. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Evolutionary_history">Evolutionary history</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Evolution_of_lemurs&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Evolutionary history">edit</a>]</div> Lemurs are primates belonging to the suborder Strepsirrhini.

Although it cannot show the earliest possible date for the appearance of a taxonomic group, other concerns have arisen about these vastly earlier divergence dates predicted independently of the fossil record. First, palaeontologists have expressed concerns that if primates have been around for significantly more than 66 million years, then the first one-third of the primate fossil record is missing. Another problem is that some of these molecular dates have overestimated the divergence of other mammalian orders, such as <a href="/wiki/Rodent" title="Rodent">Rodentia</a>, suggesting primate divergence might also be overestimated. One of the oldest known strepsirrhines, Djebelemur, dates from the early Eocene of northern Africa and lacks a fully differentiated toothcomb. Based on fossils and other genetic tests, a more conservative estimate dates the divergence between lemurs and lorises to around 50 to 55 mya.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGodinot2006446–464-12">[12]</a> To complicate the ancestry puzzle, no terrestrial Eocene or Paleocene <a href="/wiki/Fossil" title="Fossil">fossils</a> have been found on Madagascar,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESussman2003107–148-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESamondsZalmoutIrwinKrause20091233–1243-26">[26]</a> and the fossil record from both Africa and Asia around this time is not much better.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETattersall20063–18-17">[17]</a> Fossil sites in Madagascar are restricted to only five windows in time, which omit most of the <a href="/wiki/Cenozoic" title="Cenozoic">Cenozoic</a>, from 66 mya to ~26,000 years ago.
