It is a defense mechanism. There was a study done showing that throwing feces is a sign of higher brain function. In that study they found that the apes (chimps in this study), that threw poop were also the better communicators in the group. It's hypothesized that our ancestors probably threw poop and led to our ability to speak.

Do you poop when you throw up?
yes, most of the time do poop out of your rectum when you have a stomach virus, or throw up. It is possible not to poop when you throw up though.
Can you poop monkeys?
Yes, at least as much as any other primate. Since their minds are not as developed as ours, it seems that they could be on the maturity level of a toddler. There are toddlers who like playing with their excrement or would do so if given an opportunity. Then they grow out of it. There are also dogs that like rolling around in dog waste. So given the behavior of other mammals, including primates, it is reasonable to believe that there are monkeys that enjoy this as well.
