The Adapids and the Omomyids

In the previous tutorial we looked at some organisms that could potentially have been the first primates, with some dispute. Now let's look at the first organisms that were indisputable primates, the adapids and omomyoids. These arrived around 56 million years ago, and somewhat resemble modern day lemurs and tarsiers, respectively. Where did they live? What did they eat? Let's get some details!

"ancestors give me your knowledge." ancestor: confused screeching*

Let's at least hear him out.

I don't think there will ever be another channel to discuss these topics other than Professor Dave's channel. Excellent work 👏

Thanks to @Professor Dave for further videos in this wonderful zoological & cladistic series. The sheer detail that palaeontologists have managed to extract from the exceptionally limited fossil record over the past few decades is actually pretty astounding. Primates & their ancestors typically lived arborial lives within jungles where the soil was pretty acidic. Even if their little cadavers managed to avoid getting torn to bits by scavengers, their tiny bones would often dissolve in the acidic ground long before they could fossilise - leaving only teeth tinier than grains of rice (the crystalline mineral dentine resisting the acid).

And a big thank you to Erika for continuing to make the time to write these scripts.

I always love how you explain everything

great video, thank you Dave and Erika

[@archivist17]

This was fascinating. And I absolutely loved your comment about science changing.

[@StitchTheFox]

Always a joy to see a new video

[@jamiegallier2106]

Great series, thanks!❤

I like Professor Dev videos because they are very informative.

[@amehak1922]

The video title sounded like this would be about a Middle Eastern dynasty.😂

GULO gene Is a fascinating piece of chemical and evolutionary history that everyone should understand. I didn't know that it might allow mammals to put on weight faster.

Were adapids the first to move it, move it?

The origin of the "it movement" is beyond mere mortal's understanding.

Professor Dave, why are not making videos on physics and chemistry?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

more inorganic chemistry coming soon

[@yedder7628]

will u be doing any live experiments or livestreams

[@redstar54]

could u do a video about the raw milk craze

[@kallisto9166]

Omomyids are related to tarsiers... well, they're both really creepy looking so... that tracks. Very interesting video, thanks Dave!

[@JV-km9xk]

what are the 11 videos hidden? will you return them in the future?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

To be released on a schedule

Adapids, isn't that to do with fat tissue? Adapose tissue... ahh... Adapose is not adipose... Adipose tissue. This has nothing to do with fat lemur things. It's 4AM.
