Which primate is the closest relative to the common ancestor of all primates?

Answer 1

The last common ancestor between Homo sapiens and their closest relatives among other apes (Chimpanzees) occurred around 6 to 8 million years ago. Because this field is such a new one, and because the information is so limited, as of yet it is difficult to assign a specific species to the common ancestor. Right now the closest we have come is Sahelanthropus tchadensis.

Answer 2

The oldest known primate from the fossil record is Plesiadapis (55-58 mya) from the Late Paleocene. Thus it is the oldest known ancestor of all primates.

Answer 3

Humans share a relatively recent common ancestor with the great apes, chimpanzees being the closest of which.

Answer 4

I think it is a lemur.

Answer 5

The lemur.
