The rhesus monkey has a great deal in common with human beings, so tests done on a rhesus monkey (in terms of drugs they are given, medical procedures that are performed on them, etc.) will give results that are similar to the results that human beings would experience. So, this is very useful for medical research, since we don't want to experiment on human beings, at least until the point of being ready for a clinical trial, by which time we should already have substantially confirmed the usefulness and safety of what we are testing.
