You are rather misinformed and ignorant of earth's history(like most of the religious people). Enjoy:
1. Plesiadapis - one of the oldest known primate-like mammal species which existed about 58-55 mya in North America and Europe
Plesiadapis - Wikipedia
2. Aegyptopithecus - lived some 35-33 million years ago in the early part of the Oligocene epoch
Aegyptopithecus - Wikipedia
3. Proconsul - an early genus of primates that existed from 27 to 17 million years ago during the Miocene epoch
Proconsulidae - Wikipedia
4. After Proconsul you can use the following phylogenetic tree:

A nice diagram how we came to be(up to about 14mln years ago)

If you want to dig further back into history, this is who set the beginning for our ape/human family(to the best that we know as of now):
Eomaia - 125 million years ago
Eomaia - Wikipedia
Although it's hard to draw a line as to when an ape-like creature has turned into a man, i'd say that would be around 450 000 BC when fire was first discovered.
So what gives you even the slightest idea that 58 million years is not enough time for an ape-like creature to evolve into a man? Or is it just a hunch? Please, save your efforts, and do not reference quotes from the bible, as they are pretty much worthless in any serious discussion.
