Yes, monkeys and all other primates, including humans, share a common ancestor. Animals and other organisms evolve because they need to be better adapted to the conditions they are faced with in order to survive.
Monkeys evolved from the order called primates. Primates first evolved about 60 million years ago, 5 million years after the last dinosaurs, and this was early in the Paleocene epoch. Monkeys did not appear until the Oligocene, about 34 million years ago.

Primate evolution is thought to date back at least 65 million years ago, even though the oldest known primate from the fossil record is Plesiadapis (55-58 mya) from the Late Paleocene.
The first primates probably evolved around 60-65 million years ago, shortly after the extinction of the dinosaurs, although the earliest ones may well have come about while they were still alive.
All primates, not just monkeys, are descended from a group of mammals who became adapted to and specialized for living in trees. One of the most obvious adaptations for arboreal living is the opposable thumb.
Monkeys have adapted to their habitat with their strong tail, which acts like a fifth limb. They also have strong, nimble fingers which are good for cracking nuts.
They didn`t. We were created by God, and so are monkeys, and there is no evoloution.
All the way to their present state.
They haven't changed at all.
1000 years
Since before human beings
usally when monkeys are around humans they are either calm because they've been around them long enough to trust them or; if they are wild they will run away or try to face the human. monkeys are only 2% monkey the rest of them is human. so that means humans are proven to evolve from the monkeys.
A snow monkeys tail is usually around 1.2 meters long.
They have been here for 100's of years
monkeys have been in space for almost 50-60 years now. the first monkey was chip darling.
Spider monkeys have inredibly long tails.They wrap their tails around the tree, and just hang there.
they have been classed as an endangered species since 1972
monkeys have been on the earth for about 230 years.
Save the mexican monkeys
how long has deforestation been around
As long as guns have been around.
Is there ever been records of flying monkeys?
