They're chimpanzees instead of monkeys in most drawings. Chimps are used because they're the closest primate to humans - they look almost exactly like us, so people find it humorous to see them doing things that humans would do, like dressing up in clothing and using human gestures.

What is the significance of the three monkeys and Hear no evil Speak no evil and See no evil?

My guess (and that really is all it is :) ), is that monkey's are said to be linked to humans, but only in a very simplistic fashion (ie. they're not as advanced as humans). Perhaps this idea is based around monkeys picking up the basics of human 'rules', that we should not hear, speak or see evils. Hope that's in some way helpful :D
