They first appeared about 65 million years ago, yet some people believe it was 85 million years ago. ^_^
yes

That is debatable. Scientifically speaking, primates.
All chimpanzees are primates but not all primates are chimpanzees. Humans, for instance, are primates.
If you mean "Are all mammals primates?" then the answer is no. Primates are a type of mammal. All primates are mammals. Not all mammals are primates. For example, cats, dogs, bears, rodents... these are all mammals, but not primates.
What is an ape? We have been called the "naked ape", but is that a good description or just good publicity. More broadly, biologists classify the great apes and humans together as primates. We are primates and the first humans were therefore primates just as we are. Whether the first humans were the Adam and Eve of the Bible is a matter of faith.
No, dogs are not primates. Dogs belong to the mammalian family Canidae, while primates belong to the order Primates, which includes humans, apes, monkeys, and lemurs.

Stop acting like a bunch of primates! Aren't gorillas primates?
That is very interesting question, indeed. Your concern for the primates needs appreciation. The answer to this question is probably positive. Sickle cell anaemia is a natural selection in malaria endemic zone. The sickle cell trait patient is genetically resistant to malarial fever. So many primates suffer from malarial fever. From this finding you can say that sickle cell anaemia should be present in primates, who live in tropical countries.
A group of monkeys is called a troop.Monkeys are in the taxonomic order Primates(primates), suborder Haplorhini ("dry-nosed").
