I can't think of any other explanations but this does sound like bullshit to me.

When you have eliminated the impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

I assume this is about the rafting theory?
Back then, that stretch was ~900 miles across, so about 3 times the length of Lake Superior today. Not a trivial voyage by any means. But far from insurmountable.
Also, vegetation rafts can get big. Like really big. "The Great Raft" in Louisiana quite literally shaped the surrounding ecosystem before we removed it to ease commerce along the Mississippi River. Don't imagine a loose mass of vegetation. Imagine a gargantuan floating island with its own ecosystem.

Doyle believed in ghosts and shit btw

He starting believing in the afterlife and shit after his son died during WW1. Grief does strange things to people.

It's quite likely that some archipelago served as a further stepping stone.

Also the Antarctic route can't be dismissed.

>>16994767
>quite likely
Right? Let's say there are 10 of those.
Does that make it certain?

Fucking quacks

>>16994777
Did anyone ever say they were certain?

How do we know they didn't just ride across the ocean on albatrosses

It could grip it by the husk

What the fuck is this.
Lol.

Seems reasonable. Most South American mammals have closer genetic cousins to Africa than North America.

>>16994105 (OP)
My understanding that 500 years ago when the humans arrived they bred with the rats and there and created the monkeys we see today.

Didn't people used to go on voyages and bring animals back for zoo's and stuff. There are no wild monkeys in the UK that I am aware of but plenty of Zoo's that have them.

>>16996599
Yeah but that didn't happen 35 million years ago, according to (((science)))

The real answer prolly lies in the basement of the Vatican.

What a gay pozzed video.

What the fuck even is primate evolution?
>Earliest primates evolve in Asia, raft to Africa which is an island at the time
>Ancestor of lemurs raft to Madagascar
>Ancestor of New World Monkeys sail across the fucking Atlantic Ocean to colonize South America
>Ancestor of apes travels back to Asia
>Ancestor of African apes travels back to Africa again

Aliens moved some monkeys across the Atlantic to study how they evolve.

Oh shit, I asked the wrong board.

I seriously thought this thread was going to be about black people.

>>16996022
kek

I assume there was some sort of treaty of tordesillas where the lemurs got Madagascar while the monkeys got South America

>>16995955
What about this is wrong to you? It all checks out.

>>16995958
The interesting thing is that South America and Africa obviously fit together like puzzle pieces. The real question gets raised then about when exactly they separated and who all existed at the time that they did. That's the hard query to answer. The facts suggest that it wasn't that long ago, or the beings existing are much older than we think they are.

>>16997121
The rafting hypotheses assume the nonexistence of land-bridges, which are in my opinion more credible than grounded animals crossing long stretches of water.

The Sahara and Grand Canyon, for example, are said to not have always been deserts.
