Monkey Migration Out of the Amazon Basin

Caption

As climate and sea levels fluctuated, monkeys dispersed out of the Amazon Basin and evolved in their new ranges. The black outlines represent present-day landmasses, while green and yellow shading represents lowland and highland landmasses during the Late Oligocene and Early Miocene.
