Also known as ape

Monkey is a common name that may refer to most mammals of the infraorder Simiiformes, also known as simians. Traditionally, all animals in the group now known as simians are counted as monkeys except the apes. Thus monkeys, in that sense, constitute an incomplete paraphyletic grouping; alternatively, if apes (Hominoidea) are included, monkeys and simians are synonyms.

AI overview

Monkeys are mammals in the infraorder Simiiformes that are traditionally distinguished from apes, though the exact boundaries of the group are somewhat ambiguous depending on how scientists classify them. They matter as one of our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom, helping us understand primate evolution and behavior.
