Interesting stuff. I wonder if I can find it again. I'll look around. Anyway, no way in hell you can get that "accidentally."

Old world monkeys did it. Enough old world monkeys accidentally floated to south america betweeen 25-40 million years ago such that they founded the lineage of new world monkeys.

When you are looking at time scale of millions of years, all sorts of freakish, one in a million events would have time to happen.
