If you are referring to an increase in overall intelligence during the course of evolution then you have mistaken monkeys for apes as the evolutionary source of humanity. Monkeys were monkeys a long time ago, while some apes did evolve into the humans of today. To find a simple difference between them, look for a tail. Monkeys have tails and apes do not.
