The first members of our own Order, the Primates, appear shortly after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs, some 65 million years ago. In the early years of the Age of Mammals these primitive primates flourished, producing an impressive diversity of different forms. The current project seeks to better understand the processes by which primates originated and diversified from three different perspectives.

我们自己的秩序的第一个成员，灵长类动物，出现后不久，非鸟类恐龙灭绝，约6500万年前。在哺乳动物时代的早期，这些原始灵长类动物蓬勃发展，产生了令人印象深刻的不同形式的多样性。目前的项目旨在从三个不同的角度更好地了解灵长类动物起源和多样化的过程。
