Carpolestes wasGroup of answer choicesa lemur.a monkey.an ape.a primate-like mammal.

Carpolestes is classified as a primate-like mammal. It lived during the late Paleocene epoch and is considered one of the earliest ancestors of modern primates. Fossils of Carpolestes show adaptations that suggest it had features suitable for an arboreal lifestyle, such as grasping hands and feet, similar to those seen in later primates. However, it is not classified as a lemur, monkey, or ape, as those groups evolved later. This makes Carpolestes an important species in understanding primate evolution and the transition from early mammalian forms to the more derived forms of primates we see today.
