    The evolutionary process is: microevolution

    Microevolution is the occurrence of small-scale evolutionary changes, in this case a change in gene frequencies within a population. They occur on a short time (the monkeys were recently captured). Plus, another indication that this an example of microevolution is that the change occurs below the species level, since the difference in the fur.
