Hints at an antediluvian advanced civilization with ships that brought the Monkeys as pets to the new world. Atlantis perhaps? Mu too? Maybe the Conan books were not fantasy after all???

These researchers had better be denture they know what they're talking about!
I think Lancelot Link used boats... :^)
The monkeys that sailed across the Atlantic to South America
Monkeys suddenly appeared in South America about 40 million years ago. Unlikely though it may seem, they probably sailed there from Africa

They’re just making it up now.
Lol!!
Anyway, Africans did not make it to Mexico--if they did there would be more evidence than someone's interpretation of the lips on Olmec statues.
... it would have been pretty hard for any Old World monkeys in Mexico to make it to Peru...the intervening jungles were full of New World monkeys.
There weren't any at the time -- these fossils antedate New World primates. The origin of this, uh, problem, comes from this piece of supposition (taken from the BBC article linked above):
...molecular clock estimates now date the last common ancestor for New and Old World monkeys to a time about 100 million years after the continents had split apart.
