Early Primate Evolution Song

Lyrics:

THE LATE CRETACEOUS
Meteor kills most life on earth...
Age of dinosaurs is no longer
What will happen now?

PALEOCENE
65' to 58' (mya)
Temps get cold and the continents drift
Now The mammals rule
Large fruiting trees covered in bugs
What little mammal could resist the urge to eat them?

Not the plesiadapiforms
Who knows what they could be?
They got primate-like molars
One must be our ancestor from years way
older (4x)

EOCENE
From 58' to 35' (mya)
Temps get Eo-so hot and rainforests get to breeding
Early Prosimians take the stage
So many ancestral links in the Eocene!
Lemurs and Adapoids
Tarsiers Omomyoids
Archicebus is an early Haplorhine

Tiny Platyrrhines sail to South America
Full anthropoids emerge in Egypt
but we're not done yet

OLIGOCENE
35' to 25' (mya)
Temps get freezing, the seas are receding
Rainforests shrink North American primates go extinct
South American primates become distinct
Anthropoids spread through Africa

MIOCENE
25' to 5' Mil
India smashing and crashing into Asia
Proto apes procreate
Proconsul and Morotopithecus
Himalayas start climbing
Water just can't keep rising
Apes get declining
And monkeys start smiling

Shout out to Victoriapithecus!
Bilophadont molars?
Y-5 molars? It's in between!
It's enough to make a creationist Scream!

Oh yeah, Evolution!
