      The short answer is earlier forms of primates, such as the Prosimians (e.g lemurs), which were ancestors of monkeys.

      It all started with biogenic carbon signatures (shortly followed by bacteria) which then involved into the more complex living beings we think of (including ancestors to mammals).
