Why Are There No Apes in South America?

Apes are a clade of Old World primates that inhabit sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. They can be divided into the great apes (which include the orangutan, gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo, and humans) and the lesser apes (which include the gibbons). Although monkeys exist in South America, except for humans, no wild apes are living there.
Here we ask the question, Why are there no apes in South America?

I still find hard to believe that monkeys traveled across the ocean on floating vegetation. 🤔

Because they're all in North America, we call him bigfoot

If humans are great apes, humans live in South America, South America does have apes. Right?

Before watching: because there are jaguars. EDIT: After watching: you don’t know either. You want to be paid for AI doing most of your work.

Do you think posible the giant ant eater can survive in africa I mean they'd be able to find plenty of termite and ant colonies to eat, and currently they already receive the pressure of predators like jaguars and cougars. Also, the range of enviroments in Africa are simmilar to South American ones with savannas and jungles that are suitable for the to live. Anyways, tell me what do you think and please have the next video be of this.

Wait dude you make this video sound like apes are monkeys they aren’t. Also while Humans are primates we aren’t technically apes. We’re hominids

I wonder how much does KNOWING factor into evolution. If there’s a problem that negatively impacts your survival, but the problem is layered/ sophisticated so you don’t see it directly, would you still evolve to over omega it or does there need to be knowledge of it.

The continents broke apart before the apes could reach America.

You know it's crazy The more I see this AI content the easier it is for me to recognize it. We might not be in too much trouble after all.

You also need to keep in mind.The factor of northern latitude land bridges Where apes can't really live. Throughout all of the evolutionary history of Apes, the bearing land bridge that connected Asia to North America. Was too cold for Apes to want to migrate. Threw need tropical habitat where there's plenty of fruit, So apes would never make it to north America

When it comes to prehistoric animal migration, most of the research are based on stipulation. Most of researchers needs some accomplishment reports for more fundings, they also make the research more interesting sometimes, details are very unreal.
