Answer :

Africa has been home to early anthropoid primates since the Eocene Epoch.

The earliest anthropoid apes appeared as least in the late Eocene. There is disagreement over the anthropoids' ancestry, or the progenitor of monkeys and apes.

The majority of the early fossil material, which dates to the Eocene Epoch (about 56-34 mya), is discovered in North America and Europe, even though primates are assumed to have developed in Asia.

Eosimiids may also be known from the early Eocene of India, although middle Eocene deposits in China and Southeast Asia provide the greatest support for stem anthropoid origins. By the late Eocene, crown anthropoid skeletons were undoubtedly found in Africa.
