Old World monkeys live in Africa and Asia.
When the Americas were discovered, people called the western hemisphere the New World. Europe and the rest of the known lands were called the Old World. That is why monkeys of the Americas are called New World monkeys and those from Africa and Asia are called Old World monkeys.
Old World generally refers to monkeys of Africa and Asia; New World, to monkeys of the Americas. In Old World monkeys, the nostrils face downward and are narrow. New World monkeys have round nostrils facing to the side. The dental formula of the larger New World monkeys includes 3 premolars. Old World monkeys have 2.
There are 2 major classifications of monkeys. There are Old World and New World Primates. Marmosets and squirrel monkeys are new world primates. Old world primates are roloway and mandrill monkeys.
Apes are more closely related to Old World Monkeys.
Chimpanzees are not New World monkeys. New World monkeys are found in the Americas. Old World monkeys are found in Asia and Africa.
New world monkeys would be more likely found
New World Monkeys. Many New World monkeys in the family Atelidae, which includes howler monkeys, spider monkeys and woolly monkeys, have grasping tails often with a bare tactile pad. This is in contrast with their distant Old World monkey cousins who do not have prehensile tails.
Lemurs are NOT monkeys (so they cannot be New World nor Old World monkeys); they are prosimians. Prosimians are found in the Old World.
Well one difference would be that Old World Monkeys have more opposable thumbs than New World Monkeys (basically, it's the main difference). For more information, try clicking the related link. Hope this helped~

The four major groups of primates are prosimians (such as lemurs and tarsiers), New World monkeys (such as spider monkeys and howler monkeys), Old World monkeys (such as baboons and macaques), and apes (such as gorillas and orangutans).
There are two main families of monkeys, new world monkeys in South and Central American and old world monkeys in Asia and Africa. Some new world monkeys are Pygmy Marmosets, Spider Monkey, and Tamarins. Some old world monkeys include Patas Monkeys, Colobus Monkeys, and Drill.
