Help identifying an 8-bit game

I'm trying with no success to track down a game that I have only vague memories of and was hoping /v/ could help. It was an 8-bit era 2D platformer with a prehistoric setting. An intro "cutscene" established a vague premise of a meteor imbuing two monkeys (the player characters) with the ability to evolve. This was the only really defining feature that comes to mind; a power-up item (an egg, I think) akin to Mario mushrooms which "evolve" the character from a monkey to a cave-boy or cave-girl, to be devolved upon a hit. Adventures of pip reminded me of it in the first place. I also want to say 'dino' was in the name, but no variations I've tried yield anything.
I remember the sprites being very charming and the gameplay being fun and memorable. I'm a little surprised I've had such a hard time tracking it down. If it sounds familiar, I'd appreciate suggestions.
