Guys, monkeys evolved in the old world and migrated across the atlantic 20 millions years ago to South Americas. There hasn't been a land connection between the old world and the new since 80 million years BC. The monkeys must have ridden on something that floated. They crossed a far greater span of water than the gap between Libya and Crete, Brindisi and Sicily, or the islands of Indonesia.
Did primitive monkeys also have previously unsuspected "maritime technology"?
Or could primitive man crossed seaways the same way the monkeys did, by accidentally surviving on rafts of vegetation that are often washed out to sea after coastal storms?
