Lunar Monkey DNA

Probably you didn't notice, or maybe you have a keen eye able to spot it... I am talking about the notes on the lined peice of paper that is the background in one of the pictures of page 06 (Last page, The Origin). It is hard to see, because there are so many pictures in the way. It's meant to be a lead for the reader, explaining how the Lunar Monkeys' DNA looks like, in short. But as I said, it is very hard (If not impossible) to make any sense of it. But since I actually did put a little bit of mind into this, I figure I should explain it instead of leaving it hanging.

By the way, now's  a good time to start listening to some fitting mysterious music (Pokémon dude! Yeah!).

So as you can probably see, there are three main types of monkey DNA put into the Lunar Monkey.

About half of Lunar Monkey DNA is Macaque, resulting in the outward appearance to much resemble the Macaque. Macaques being thought of as something of generic monkeys, of perferable size, and thus a good platform to work from to combine DNA from very different speices without major negative side effects on it's stability. It showed that this DNA would also add to the prefered social patterns and diet.

Roughly a quarter of the Lunar Monkey DNA is made up of that from the Chimpanzee. The mind and human-like characteristics of the Great Apes are needed in order to enhance the monkeys performance to the standard needed for space operations. Also it was well needed to successfully implant human vocal cords.

Lastly there's the Spider Monkey. Which DNA doesn't quite show much on the outside other than the long tail. The DNA of this monkey creates imbalance in the Lunar Monkey behaviour, adding primitive, aggressive characteristics. This is often shown as sudden bursts of screaming and climbing, going banans if you will (You can see this in Arrival on moon). Despite this, it was deemed a valuable addition due to the added control and use of the tail, as well as enhanced jumping and climbing abilities.
