Lemurs evolved before gibbons. Lemurs are part of the strepsirrhine group of primates, which diverged from other primates around 60-70 million years ago. Gibbons, on the other hand, are part of the haplorhine group and evolved later, around 15-20 million years ago. Therefore, lemurs are considered to be the more ancient lineage compared to gibbons.
