In this video, William Jevning, a two-time witness and field researcher with over 40 years of experience, discusses the discovery of a creature called "Deo's ape" or "Juma" in South America. A Swiss geologist named Dr. Francois Deo and his men encountered two monkeys near the Terror River in the jungle of South America in the early 20th century. One of the monkeys was killed and preserved in a photograph, which was later examined by French Anthropologist George Montandon. Montandon believed the monkey to be an anthropoid ape, a missing link between humans and apes. The video goes on to discuss the skepticism and debates that followed the discovery.
