And somewhere along the way they learned to use their tails as a kind of hanging, tree climbing, aid?
African Monkeys don't hang from their tails.
They are too "stiff."
They are used to aid in balance only.

Admittedly the eastbound currents are pretty far south.
Out of the jungle monkey territory.
But is there any evidence against a SA to Africa migration?
