Monkey is a typical name that may allude to specific gatherings or types of simian vertebrates of infraorder Simiiformes. The term is applied clearly to gatherings of primates, for example, groups of New World monkeys and Old World monkeys. Many monkey species are tree-staying (arboreal), despite the fact that there are species that live basically on the ground, like mandrills. Most species are essentially dynamic during the day (diurnal). Monkeys are for the most part viewed as clever, particularly the Old World monkeys of Catarrhini.

Simians and tarsiers arose inside haplorrhines approximately 60 million years prior. New World monkeys and catarrhine monkeys arose inside the simians about 35 million years prior. Old World monkeys and Hominoidea arose inside the catarrhine monkeys nearly 25 million years prior. Wiped out basal simians, for example, Aegyptopithecus or Parapithecus [35-32 million years ago], eosimiidea and now and again even the Catarrhini bunch are likewise viewed as monkeys by primatologists.

Lemurs, lorises, and galagos are not monkeys; rather they are strepsirrhine primates. Like monkeys, tarsiers are haplorhine primates; notwithstanding, they are additionally not monkeys.

Chimps arose inside "monkeys" as sister of the Cercopithecidae in the Catarrhini, so cladistically they are monkeys also. There has been protection from straightforwardly assign gorillas (and consequently people) as monkeys, so "Old World monkey" might be interpreted as meaning the Cercopithecoidea or the Catarrhini.That primates are monkeys was at that point acknowledged by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in the eighteenth century.

Monkeys, including chimps, can be recognized from different primates by having just two pectoral areolas, a pendulous penis, and an absence of tactile hairs
