Still Waters Posted April 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The remains of the first known monkey in North America were recently unearthed in the southernmost point of the continent, Panama, according to a new study. The discovery suggests that the monkey, which would have looked like a modern capuchin, managed to travel across 100 miles of water dividing North America from South America 21 million years ago. The findings are published in the journal Nature. Co-author Jonathan Bloch, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the University of Florida campus, said the discovery adds a new chapter to the "utterly bizarre" history of New World monkeys. http://news.discover...ound-160420.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podo Posted April 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Very interesting as to why they did not migrate north. Clearly, this is where sasquatches come from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
