Humans are primates, so there are many primates in Europe. Apart from humans, and primates in zoos, there are very few other primates in Europe, with one well known exception being Gibraltar, where some monkeys do live. In general around the world, apart from humans, primates are normally only found in tropical and sub-tropical areas. Europe is not in any of these areas, so that is the main reason you find few non-human primates in Europe.
