It is not entirely clear which fossil primates the tarsier evolved from, but the primarily candidates are the omomyids. Alternatively, the omomyids may have just been a sister group. Unfortunately, the evolutionary history of the early fossil primates, the living strepsirrhines (lemurs, lorises, galagos), and the simians remains shrouded in mystery.

There are relatively modern tarsier fossils dating from the middle Eocene, 45 million years ago.
