Summary:
A new study of guenon monkeys in Gombe
National Park is the first to provide genetic evidence of ongoing mating
between two distinct species. These monkeys have successfully been producing
hybrid offspring for hundreds maybe even thousands of years. Prior studies have
suggested that the different physical characteristics of these monkeys keeps
them from interbreeding. So, if their faces don't match, they shouldn't be
mating, right? Wrong, according to this latest evidence.
