The latest paper published in Biology Letters reveals that picrodontids, a group of extinct placental mammals that appeared several million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs, are not primates as previously believed.

"For half a century, paleontologists believed that picrodontids, which are smaller than mice and consume fruits, nectar, and pollen, were actually primates. This belief is based on the similarity of their dental characteristics to those of primates."
The researchers utilized advanced CT-Scan technology to analyze the only known picrodontid skull.
New Findings Reveal Differences between Picrodontids and Primates.
The analysis in the Laboratory of Mammalian Evolutionary Morphology at Brooklyn College shows that this animal has no relation to primates. Although its teeth resemble those of living primates, the analysis results indicate that the skull structure of the picrodontid, particularly the bones around its ears, is not similar to those of any living primates or fossil relatives of primates.
"Jordan Crowell as an anthropology doctor at the CUNY Graduate Center stated that although its dental features are similar to primates, the structure of its skull bones significantly distinguishes it. "This indicates that picrodontids and primates share dental similarities due to their common diet. This research also highlights the importance of re-examining old specimens with the latest techniques to test them," he explained, quoted from Phys.org, Monday (15/1)."
The translation of "Picrodontid Bukan Primata." to English is "Picrodontid Not a Primate."
"Professor Emeritus Frederick Szalay from Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) convincingly classified picrodontids as primates in 1968 based on fossil dental evidence. Szalay conducted dental research on the single known picrodontid skull, Zanycteris paleocenus, as the basis for his research. This same skull was later analyzed with the latest technology, revealing that picrodontids are actually not primates."
