The group of mammals to which humans belong, the primates, split off from the ancestral insectivore soon after it appeared around 50 million years ago. Early primates were probably tree-living, and this helped them develop agile bodies, grasping hands and feet, good vision and a well developed brain.Primates evolved through several stages similar to the lemurs, tarsius, monkeys and apes.
