The earliest well-documented primate fossils date from the Early Paleocene, around 65 million years ago. These fossils belong to the Plesiadapiformes, a group that is considered to be the closest known relatives of primates, but not true primates themselves. The first true primates, such as the omomyids and adapids, appear in the fossil record during the Eocene (56-33.9 million years ago).
