First monkey lived 29 million years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey
Why do we have in the genes no mitochondria of the first monkey?
UGGGGGG, there was never a first couple of ANY species, there were first PLURAL ancestors because of periods of change over several families. Just like humans today can have several kids whom marry into several different families and the next generation can ALSO have several different kids who do the same thing.
There were first conditions not a first couple. First changes in gene shuffle, not a first couple. There were common ancestors, not a common first couple.
