Lemurs are primates and squirrels are rodents, and according to genetic evidence, they last shared a common ancestor during the Cretaceous (approximately 85 to 95 million years ago). So yes, they are related, however lemurs are more closely related other primates.

Man is closely related to monkey, but is based in physical attributes, according to the theory of the Evolution of Man. However, I still believe that human beings were created in the image of God, based in The Bible.
