>>28681433Well, in german it is named after a sub group of Baboons and I am sure as hell that Passimian isn't a fucking Baboon.
Also simian could come from prosimian (which is what lemurs are).
They just picked a name they could easier work with than lemur. Besides lemur anyway belong to primates, so you can take some freedom with using names from the primate family.
Also if it weren't for the leaker, nobody here would even say it is a fucking monkey because you all can clearly see it is a lemur. On sites where the leak wasn't known as much, everybody calls it a lemur. Coincidence? I think not.
