Adapidae

The Adapidae is a family of extinct primates that radiated in the Eocene epoch between about 55 and 34 million years ago.

Their skeleton looks like they were strepsirrhines (members of the group including the living lemurs, lorises, and bushbabies). However, though there are similarities, there are some key elements missing compared to modern strepsirrhines.^[1]^[2]
