A Prosimian primate is a mammal defined as a primate, but is not a monkey or an ape. They are considered to have characteristics that are more primitive than those of monkeys and apes. This could be like a lemur or a bushbaby.

Where primates present during primeval times?
Your are going to have to be more specific about the time, and the primates. Certain primates families and groups have been around for longer than others, and some have come and gone, but there have been mammalia concidered in the order primate for millions of years with such evidence as fosils found in the eocene period (35 million years ago)- adapidae for example. Primate groups such as adapidea are no longer living of course. So you must propose a clear question to get a clear answer.

In 1859, when Charles Darwin published his book "On the Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection and the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life."

In 1959, Zinj, a fossil skull of Paranthropus Boisei, was found in Olduvai Gorge by Mary Leaky. Zinj was a bipedal primate-like form with seemed to fit the missing link between humans and primates. Because of this, evolution was then given widespread attention from the non-scientist population
