There’s no real evidence of how the monkeys we see in South America traveled there from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. So how did they make the trip? https://t.co/JXOArYm5hu https://t.co/62BbrJsmlR

There Shouldn't Be Monkeys In South America Primates are common in South America, living almost anywhere you can find trees. But as it turns out, we don't have a simple explanation for how their evolutionary ancestors got there... except, maybe rafts? https://t.co/DHcSeqOrch

Fascinating! Monkeys evolved in the Americas, went extinct, then found their way back. Just like horses in North America. Also reminiscent of why Marsupials are only in Australia and America. https://t.co/88LyVEdTqk

They didn't,in any way,shape,or form, come from Africa.Original genetic seeds of life occur via interaction of astrophysical influx&local geothermal cultivation. Primates are a slowly shape shifting group covering root habitats,simultaneously,across
