Are there/were there any native European Primates in the last 10,000 years or so?
Excluding Humans of course.
Current distribution shows none that I can find with the exceptions of zoos, pets and the Rock of Gibraltar Barbary Macaques that may or may not be natives.

Neanderthals died out 15,000 years ago or so. I can't think of anything else.

Isn't there a colony of monkeys on the Gibraltar?
ETA: Yup, just checked that on the interwebs and they even have they own webpage: www.gibraltarmonkey.com
We don't know if they were introduced in historic times, or are survivors from Pliocene, though.
