The fossil record of primates is quite poor but my guess would be it lived in Africa.
That's what the creationists are seizing upon because of the lack of fossil evidence for anything resembling a pongid in Africa.
I don't see the problem with this, they shared a common ancestor over 12 million years ago. Seems completely reasonable they can slowly migrate across the distances in that time?
Agreed. But there appears to be no fossil evidence for such a slow migration. This is relevant because there is no evidence of a slow migration of kangaroos from the Near East to Australia (which is what creationists believe must have happened post-Flood).
