Teilhardina (/taɪhɑːrˈdiːnə/, teye-har-DEE-nuh)[3] was an early marmoset-like primate that lived in Europe, North America and Asia during the Early Eocene epoch, about 56-47 million years ago.[1][4] The paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson is credited with naming it after the French paleontologist, Jesuit and philosopher Teilhard de Chardin.
