Science Daily:

"The monkeys are believed to have made the more than 900-mile trip on floating rafts of vegetation that broke off from coastlines, possibly during a storm.

"We're suggesting that this group might have made it over to South America right around what we call the Eocene-Oligocene Boundary, a time period between two geological epochs, when the Antarctic ice sheet started to build up and the sea level fell," said Seiffert. "That might have played a role in making it a bit easier for these primates to actually get across the Atlantic Ocean."

They’re just making it up now.

Some people claim that Olmec statues in Mexico have African features, meaning that prehistoric Africans made it to the New World. If so, they could have brought monkeys with them. But I think these monkey teeth in Peru are much older than that, plus 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.

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.
