He was immediately offered free housing, health care and college tuition by a welcoming committee of Democratic cavemen.

How do you know it was a he?
Could'a been one of those females fleeing an iminent honor killing ... that would explain the 'scurrying'.

The monkey must have colonised the Americas via Alaska, crossing from Asia via the Bering land bridge 55 million years ago, Why does everyone - well, most everyone - still cling to the theory that anything in the Americas had to have come over the loop and DOWN into North America?
There's still that old belief that hangs on due to the "Old Worlds" people not knowing that the "New World" existed - which it did all those millions of years that the Old one die = that everything in the New World had to have gotten here from the Old.
Who's to say that some things may well have gone up and over the Straight FROM the "New" world to the old?
Take, for example, the camel.
The camel originated in North America and once lived in the Yukon and Alaska - long before the 'ice bridge' =
But scientists and establishment archaeologists still start with the premise that everything had to have come FROM the Old World - which isn't any older than the New World...even against the evidence that not only was Clovis man here long before the Bering Straight bridge - but so were others, as far south as South America - at least a millennia before the Bering Straight bridge -
But, as we have witnessed, once a scientist - particularly archaeologists - have a well entrenched theory, they're like a dog with a bone - devil take the evidence staring them in the face.

More stupid guessing on the Darwin idiosyncrasy. A boned found in Mississippi and they think it went to Europe afterwards.....for what crumpets and tea? No....the species was intercontinental. The facts show it was found in other parts of the world.

first primate enjoyed a diet of fruit and insects.i'm not sure enjoyed is the most apporpriate word, perhaps "had" is better.

Analysis of the teeth suggests America's first primate enjoyed a diet of fruit and insects. Clearly they settled first in California.

Really—my first guess was that this was about Helen Thomas.

Or populated S. America when it was connected to Africa. Rode over on the continent.
Unless the climate in N. Siberia and Alaska was very different than now, I can’t see some of these animals surviving the winters during a migration across the ‘land bridge’.

And evolved into the local San Francisco hippie, where the diet is occassionally suplemented by dumpster diving and organic weeds.

"Or populated S. America when it was connected to Africa. Rode over on the continent." That was 120 million years ago.

Vinnie - forgot to include you in my answer to our mutual poster, blam =
he/she said to us: "That was 120 million years ago.
And I answered: "yeah - and the same 'building blocks' would've 'rode over' as stayed put, would they not?"

"yeah - and the same 'building blocks' would've 'rode over' as stayed put, would they not?" No. When something seperates and goes in two different directions, the two halves start mutating in different directions and eventually become two different 'things.'
