Asian colobines, also known as leaf-eating monkeys, have been on the planet for about 10 million years. Their ancestors crossed land bridges, dispersed across continents, survived the expansion and contraction of ice sheets and learned to live in tropical, temperate and colder climes. A new study finds that colobines living in colder regions experienced genetic changes and alterations to their ancient social structure that likely enhanced their ability to survive.
