The primate lineage is thought go back to at least 65 mya, even though the oldest known primate from the fossil record is Plesiadapis (55-58 mya) from the Late Paleocene. Other studies, including molecular clock studies, have estimated the origin of the primate branch to have been in the mid-Cretaceous period, around 85 mya.
