Pruney fingers are a general primate adaptation, and likely have more to do with not slipping from trees when it rains than any serious aquatic phase.



Not that general. The only other species I can find mentioned to have pruney fingers are macaque monkeys.

And we are unsure if that's a remnant of common ancestor or a parallel evolution.
