Fossil records!
Based on fossil evidence, we can conclude that the history of Primates is about 55 to 60 million years long.
Evolutionary Classification.
The procedure of grouping organisms based on their evolutionary history is called evolutionary classification. It is also called Darwinian classification.
Phylogeny
Phylogenetic classification is based on the evolutionary history of organisms, grouping them together based on their shared ancestry and genetic relationships. This type of classification aims to reflect the relatedness and evolutionary connections between different species.

Grouping organisms according to theri characteristics and evolutionary history :)
Taxonomy is the classification of organisms into categories based on shared characteristics, while phylogeny is the evolutionary history and relationships among organisms. Both taxonomy and phylogeny aim to organize and understand the diversity of life by grouping organisms based on their relatedness and evolutionary connections. They both help in studying the evolutionary relationships and history of species.
Does not reflect the evolutionary history of the organism.
Cladistics is more useful than Linnaean taxonomy when studying evolutionary relationships because it groups organisms based on shared evolutionary history. This allows for a more accurate representation of evolutionary relationships compared to Linnaean taxonomy, which is based on physical characteristics.
The evolutionary history of a species is often displayed in a phylogenetic tree. This will clearly show the history of the species, which is also known as phylogeny.
