 Old World monkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Old World monkeys or Cercopithecidae are a group of primates, falling in the superfamily Cercopithecoidea in the clade Catarrhini.
Technically, the distinction of catarrhines from platyrrhines depends on the structure of the nose, and the distinction of Old World monkeys from apes depends on dentition.
The colobus has a stub for a thumb; the proboscis monkey has an extraordinary nose; the penis of the male mandrill is colored red and the scrotum has a lilac color, while the face also has bright coloration like the genitalia and this develops in only the dominant male of a multi-male group.

Dryas is a genus of three species of dwarf perennial herbaceous plants in the rose family Rosaceae, native to the arctic and alpine regions of Europe, Asia and North America.
They are closely related to Geum, Potentilla and Fragaria, but are distinct in having flowers with eight petals (rarely seven or up to ten), instead of the five petals found in most other genera in the Rosaceae.
The flowers are white with a yellow centre (Dryas integrifolia, Dryas octopetala) or all-yellow (Dryas drummondii), and held conspicuously above the small plants.

The evidence from the greenhouse gas bubbles indicates temperatures from the end of the Younger Dryas Period to the beginning of the Holocene some 12,500 years ago rose about 20 degrees Fahrenheit in a 50-year period in Antarctica, much of it in several major leaps lasting less than a decade.
A paper principally authored by research associate Eric Steig and co-authored by White and Scott Lehman, all of CU's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, was published in the Oct. 2 issue of Science.
According to White, deep-sea sediment cores from temperate regions, combined with arctic ice core evidence, confirm the climate warmed rapidly at the end of the Younger Dryas in the Northern Hemisphere.
