Adapis: Art & Regions

Adapis is the type genus of the Adapidae, an extinct family of primates from the Palaeogene within the extinct infraorder Adapiformes. It was endemic to western Europe and lived from the Middle to Late Eocene. Adapis was first named in 1822 by the French palaeontologist Georges Cuvier, who studied incomplete jaws from Montmartre and thought it to have…
