Which is a good way to tell apart apes and monkeys?
A good rule of thumb is that monkeys usually have tails and apes don't. If you see them in the trees, apes can swing from branch to branch, monkeys can't. The classification of "ape" and "monkey" isn't particularly well done; Old World monkeys are more closely related to apes than to New World monkeys, also whether humans should be classified as apes has been unclear over the years; chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than to gorillas.

Are apes monkeys?
No. Monkeys are not apes.Monkeys differ from apes as they have atail (usually),smaller brain,quadrupedal pronograde posture,and a usually longer face.Most monkeys cannot swing arm-over-arm (the spider monkey is an exception) but move about in trees by running along the branches on all fours.A few monkey species have the word "ape" in their common name.While all monkeys are not apes, apes, however, can be classed as monkeys. Animals typically called as "monkeys" by the public are actually two very distinct sets of animals: what are actually "Old World monkeys" and "New World monkeys". Old World monkeys are demonstrably more closely related to apes (a class that includes humans) than they are to New World monkeys: Old World monkeys and apes (and us humans) belong to the parvorder Catarrhini, while New World monkeys do not. They belong to their own parvorder, Platyrrhini.To say that Old World monkeys and New World monkeys are related to each other but not to to apes would be the same as saying your sister and your cousin are more closely related than you and your sister are; or that a Chevy Silverado and a Ford F-150 are more closely "related" because they bear a superficial resemblance, than a Chevy Silverado and a Chevy Impala -- both of which are obvious nonsense. Thus, if the term "monkey" is going to mean anything, it must be grouping for all the members of Catarrhini and Platyrrhini together, and that would include apes, and that would include us (as members of Catarrhini). Effectively, any primate that is not a prosimian or a tarsier (in other words, infraorder Simiiformes) is a variety of monkey. Some primates are monkeys, some monkeys are apes, and some apes are humans.
