Question

State whether the following statements are true or false
The evolutionary history of primates dates back to early Palaeozoic era, about 300 million years ago.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The first primate-like mammals, or proto-primates, evolved in the early Paleocene Epoch (65.5-55.8 million years ago) at the beginning of the Cenozoic Era. They were roughly similar to squirrels and tree shrews in size and appearance.

Hence, the correct answer is 'False'.
