Da Las North American Primate Befo Human Come – ‘Lazarus’ 🐒🌴
😮 So da story go like dis: dem scientists wen dig up some old fossils from 30 million years ago and found out dat one whole mammal lineage came all da way from Asia to North America. Dey call ’em Lazarus species cuz dey pop up aftah everybody tought dey was extinct.
Like Jesus bringin’ back Lazarus in da Bible! 💀🙌 But wait, hold on a sec—dis Ekgmowechashala philotau (yeah, I know it’s hard fo say) only show up millions of years aftah all da oddah primates gone away.
So it’s not like dem modern Lazarus animals dat come back quick fast after bein’ MIA for jus’ a couple centuries. Dese scientists wen find teeth and jawbones from two different species of Ekgmowechashala plus anodda similar animal called Palaeohodites naduensis over in China 🇨🇳 And guess what?
Dey figured out dese fossils tell us where dese mammals really came from! Dis research team say Ekgmowechashala nevah stay native to North America at all—dey immigrants who evolved ova in Asia first den made der way ovah hea durin’ one time when everyting was real cool ❄️ Most likely dey crossed ovah via Beringia—a land bridge between Russia 🇷🇺 an Alaska 🏔️ But check dis out: after comin’ all dis way, Ekgmowechashala nevah stay around fo’ long.
Dey was like one driftin’ gunslinger in one Western movie—here today, gone tomorrow 🤠 But aftah dey disappear fo’ mo’ than 25 million years, den we show up! Us modern humans mark da third chapter of primates on dis continent.

They figured out these fossils tell us where these mammals really came from! This research team says Ekgmowechashala never stayed native to North America at all—they are immigrants who evolved over in Asia first then made their way over here during a time when everything was real cool ❄️ Most likely they crossed over via Beringia—a land bridge between Russia 🇷🇺 and Alaska 🏔️ But check this out: after coming all this way, Ekgmowechashala never stayed around for long.
They were like drifting gunslingers in one Western movie—here today, gone tomorrow 🤠 But after they disappeared for more than 25 million years, then we showed up!
