Could these have really been Nephites?

The Dates aren't quite right and we can excuse Scientists for not getting the names of these guys... so maybe they were Nephites, or the earlier guys in submarines?

I don't think the Book of Mormon ever mentions monkeys.

[_Philo Sofee]

Doesn't mention monkeys? What about Nephi, Zeezrom, Alma and Samuel, not to mention Teancum and Pahoran, not to exclude his modern brother who took his name for righteousness sake on the Internet either? And of course Mormon, that wicked man for getting the Latter Day Saints distracted from Jesus' holy name?

I see an opportunity for a Book of Mormon/Planet of the Apes movie.
