Proto-monkey works better, I think. Since it's a phrase that means it is a monkey, but is also the first group of monkeys, sort of.
Although I still maintain we should accept we're lemurs and go around bouncing sideways.
hehe true :> There is just this bizzare fixation on modern names that bothrs me in phylogeny like I said.
Like if dogs ever evolved into a insect bird like creature, it still be a dog, rather then what what ever chitenous mammals would be called.
