The baby is just clinging to the mother.  No pouch.  I may tag along with him if we clear up COVID some time.  It's a bit scary for me thinking about flying to Uganda or Zambia or Congo.  My wife wants to go to South Africa, but not now.

I'm good on Africa. They'd mistake me for an albino and turn me into potion.

He takes antimalaria drugs two weeks before going, HCQ in fact.  He goes to Africa pretty often.  He gets some incredible shots.

Well that explains why he didn't get COVID.

Speaking of Monkeys, how did they get to America from Africa? 

There are quite a few species native to South America and whatnot, but they evolved in Africa long after Pangaea split, and it's not too realistic that they got from one equatorial region to another by way of the Siberian land bridge to Alaska.

I've read speculation on how, but it's just that.  I wonder how monkeys got to Japan also.

Of the theories that you've read, which one struck you as being the most plausible?

I've only come across one.  A bad storm blowing  trees infested with monkeys or floating mats of debris across the ocean back when the continents were closer.

More Than 30 Million Years Ago, Monkeys Rafted Across the Atlantic to South America | Science | Smithsonian Magazine

Back then, during a time known as the Late Eocene, Africa and South America were significantly closer. The span of the Atlantic Ocean between the two continents measured about 930 to 1,300 miles apart compared to the modern expanse of 1,770 miles. In addition, the buildup of glaciers in Antarctica around that time caused sea levels to drop, making the passage shorter than it is today. During this window of prehistory, the path between the continents was passable by sea.

“I think everyone kind of shakes their heads at primates rafting long or even moderate distances,” Miller says, but such events have happened at other times and are still going on today. Animals such as tenrecs and lemurs arrived on Madagascar by rafting from mainland Africa across a distance of more than 260 miles, for example, and small lizards island-hop in the Bahamas on natural rafts.

That's racist.

The one where the genetic evidence leads to.
