    I’m not entirely sure that statement is correct, but it’s been a while since I took any anthropology courses…

    Edit: I was wrong and remembered the tree incorrectly.

      Family tree of primates. As you can see, old world monkeys and new world monkeys share their last common ancestor with the apes. That means that phylogenetically, that if they are both monkeys, then so are all the apes.

      It is correct. I’ve been corrected on this before and did the research to discover I was wrong. Humans are Monkeys.

          Good on you for realizing it. It was difficult for me to admit I was wrong when it happened to me as well, so I feel your confusion/pain :)
