Also is it possible for an early primate or an early relative of primates to live in say Greenland or a polar region during the Late Cretaceous?

So if primates evolved during the Cretaceous-Early Paleogene would this be possible?

Why? Haven't early primatomorphs been found in North America and Europe.

yes but that was 43 million years ago and it was warmer at the time so no polar monkeys

I mean a basal primate or an early primatomorph. Not a monkey.

more possible but still unlikely we haven't found an early primatomorph in greenland

Well we haven't found a lot of, or even no, material from Cretaceous Greenland either. I'm just asking about if it is possible for an early primatomorph to live in Greenland.

there is a small possably but is most likely no Greenland early primatomorph

So just because there is no primatomorph material in Greenland?

not so far because
A) there is no fossil primatomorph in America of the time
b) It is hard for a small mammal to go from Africa to Greenland

1) Primates evolved around 80-65 mya but the earliest fossils we have are 65 mya. We will probably find fossils in the future.

2) We don't know for sure where primates evolved since the earliest fossil of primates was a few million years after they did. Two likely options are Africa and Asia, which isn't very far. Some early primate fossils have been found in Europe and North America.

3) 90 million years ago is not the Late Cretaceous. Even if it was I was talking about 75-66 mya. Not 90 mya.

1 I agree
2 also ture but the earliest we have is from Africa and the one found in North America are after the KT event
3 I know that was the only map I could find I just wanted to show the distance

Is this accurate?
http://www.reptileevolution.com/notharctus.htm
I know it's by Peters but I am wondering if the information about Notharctus is accurate because it's a primate and not a reptile at all.

It's literally the biggest pile of crap I've read this week.

And that's just the first paragraph.

that sound unlikely since they evolved in africa
Yeah no.

David Begun concluded that early primates flourished in Eurasia and that a lineage leading to the African apes and humans, including Dryopithecus, migrated south from Europe or Western Asia into Africa.
