Apes have Y-5 molars, while Old World Monkeys have bilophodont molars. True False A cooling and drying trend in Central East Africa during the late Miocene Epoch resulted in no effect on trees, which resulted in a stable distribution of arboreal apes in that region no effect on Ape species but drastically reduced the number of Monkey species in Central East Africa fewer groves of trees and larger expanses of grasslands in ape habitats increased number of trees in Central East Africa, which led to an increase in ape diversity
