I agree it seems unlikely that primates occupied the continent; then again. We already know human-like primates we’re around 1+ million years ago. All our historic geological theories and observations have been relatively recent from a scientific standpoint (few hundred years or less). We’ve had multiple major changes in views over the past 80 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if we have to update our views again.
