The dawn mammals, ancestors of primitive man, suddenly appeared among the offspring of Asiatic migrants of the North American lemur types and evolved into higher mid-mammals and eventually the Primates. [1] The appearance of early lemurs in western North America marked the establishment of the line from which the true lemurs later evolved. [2] The Malay tribe teaches descent from lemurs, reflecting ancient beliefs in human origins from animals. [3]
The lemurs migrated over the Bering land bridge, eventually uniting with other strains to establish the ancestry of the human race in southwestern Asia. [4]
Early lemurs, ancestors of humans, were not directly related to gibbons and apes, nor the modern type of lemur, originating from a now-extinct common ancestor. [5]
