Monkeys
Monkeys make up two of the three groups of simian primates, Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. A monkey is any primate that is not a human, prosimian, or apes. With 96 species of Old World monkeys and 53 species of New world monkeys, you'll have a barrel of fun monkeying around in this category!

If a man evolved from monkeys and apes why do you still have monkeys and apes?
- Many people believe that man did not evolve from apes at all, we were created by God in His own image. That God gave man a human soul that makes them individual.
- The only other option is a theory called evolution, by which over billions of years, the whole earth and everything in it was formed by hydrogen, which spread through the universe at the Big Bang, an explosion in which the hydrogen was formed.
- Human beings (homo sapiens) related faintly related. Humans and other apes might share a common ape or ape-like ancestor.
- A species only evolves to help it in its survival. The apes' ancestors could survive being an ape so they didn't continue to evolve, whereas our ancestors kept evolving to help them stay alive. Survival of the fittest is what drives evolution, and our ancestors just happened to "need" evolution more than the apes. Evolutionary process is performed by mutations, which are usually harmful or fatal. For evolution to occur, an incredible chance happened so that the mutation would not harm or kill the new creature.
- Apes and humans evolved from an unknown common ancestor. This ancestor split up and evolved into different species, one became erect and the other continued as it was.
- Humans didn't evolve from apes; rather, we and apes evolved from a common ancestor (who is no longer with us, we have no fossils proving this fact, but we believe it anyway). The relationship is more like cousins than parent-child.
- By a very great chance, humans developed a brain that allows them to think, love, and be individual persons. Christians call this a soul. It elevates us above beasts.
- There are still apes because some apes did not evolve into people. If rocks are crushed into stones, why are there still rocks? There are still rocks because some rocks did not get crushed into stones.
- Different species have evolved according to the conditions and ecological niches they find themselves in. Speciation occurs when a subtle change confers an advantage on a given population.
- It is also important to remember that not all changes of animals mean it has evolved. Animals have great genetic variety, to suit different environments. This is called natural selection.
Let's think of a simple example of changes by natural selection:
If the world were suddenly covered in snow, and polar bear-type predators invaded everywhere, it stands to reason that they'd be more likely to eat dark-colored animals which they could see more easily.
That would give an advantage to animals which, by chance or design, happened to be white. Animals of a usually black type which happened by chance to be *partly* white might also escape the bears. They would then be most likely to breed, passing on the white genes to their offspring.
Over time, through breeding in a selective group, all animals would become white, as the ones least suited to their environment were weeded out. Some species which were unable, by chance, to adapt, would go extinct as the polar bears ate the lot of them.
So, humans have evolved in a different way than chimps, gorillas and orangutans because the requirements of the environment we found ourselves in were different. It was an advantage for us to go in the direction we went, just as it was for the other apes.
Evolution works randomly. Natural Selection works towards the animal's specific needs. The mutation to create more hair in a cold environment would be in a specific population so some humans in the group would have more hair by nature (genetically). These individuals would in turn have a greater chance for survival in the cold environment. As they are selected for by nature their percentages will increase. More of the hairier humans will survive to reproduce and their children will be genetically driven to be hairier. That is just one of the marvelous and logical ways evolution in our nature world occurs.
- Natural selection is variations in genetic genetic variety that changes a species within itself. For instance, say a tribe of fair skinned people traveled to a very hot climate, those people with darker skin would be more likely to survive thereby passing on there dark skinned genes and eventually weeding out the fair skinned people.
- Evolution only occurs when it is necessary. Some apes evolved into man because either they moved to a new environment or their existing environment changed, making evolution necessary for survival. So, the apes who needed to adapt to their new environment through evolution to survive either did so or were wiped out (apparently, they changed, creating the human race), or stayed in a friendly environment, making evolution unnecessary and therefore, nonexistent (the apes in these conditions remained apes).
- Technically, humans are apes.
- Science never said humans evolved from apes. Science said that humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor. That makes humans and apes related species. And those who abhor the idea of humans evolving from apes may be even more incensed to learn that we did not evolve from apes, but from a more primitive species.
What is the average age of monkeys found in India?
The most common monkey found in India is the Rhesus monkey. Rhesus monkeys live up to 25 years, some even reach 30 years.
Mokeys are very smart they might not seem like they are but they are
Yes they do. They sit on the bottom and move their legs slowly. They have to because they breath through their feet.
What do you have to have to own a monkey?
Most Monkey species need a Dangerous wild animal license to own. a license can only be granted by your local authority and the minimum age is 18. some species do not need a license, but there needs still have to be legal meet under the animal welfare act.
monkeys are not pets, they are intelligent, unpredictable and social (most species) animals and are difficult and expensive to look after. unless you can keep them in top quality zoo conditions, including indoor and outdoor enclosures, enclosure designs, maintaining and controlling social groups, nutrition, evacuation procedures in emergencies, procedures in case of escape, ext, then you shouldn't own one.

Is Bigfoot a real animal or a primate?
There are more and more studies being done on Bigfoot (also called: Yeti). There have been sightings, but no proof that it isn't someone playing a prank. I do believe there is such a beast of nature because there are so many things in this world we haven't even uncovered yet and strange things in nature. For now they think that Bigfoot is part primate and human, but don't know for sure as they have not had one in captivity to research this. Some scientists think Bigfoot (or Yeti) doesn't eat meat, but are vegetarians and eat berries, etc. Some people have sworn they have come across Bigfoot (who is to say they are lying) and there is often a terrible odor long before you actually see Bigfoot. The actions of Bigfoot (so it's been written in some articles) are being shy and evasive, but, if someone chases after them or corners them they will fight back. This theory also has never been proven. There is no such thing as bigfoot. It could be a very tall man in a ape-man suit. Only God knows the answer.

wipikedia has a good article on evidence of bigfoot.

How do you aerate sea monkeys?
You aerate them by using the million bubbles air pump to squeeze air in, or you can take the sea monkey container and another CLEAN container and pour them back and fourth 4-5 times. Hope this helps!
How many types of monkeys are there in Europe?
There are none in Europe but they are trying to get them from their natural habitat and make them come to Europe
Are there any monkey that can talk?
Of course they scream! All monkey's can scream. It's not a yoddel scream, but a scream scream. They scream when in pain, to annoy people, and other reason's humans are not a ware of. But i mostly think because of pain and for fun.
What are the origins of reengineering?
The concept of reengineering's origins trace as early as the nineteenth century. Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) suggested in the 1880s that managers could discover the best processes for performing work and reengineer them to optimize productivity.

ask some person with some animal knowledge Answer I have a problem with the question. Taxon is a noun meaning one of the levels in the classification hierarchy. For example, class, order and family are all taxa. What you probably want is the taxonomy or classification of monkeys. Domain Eukarya Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata Class Mammalia Order Primates Primates include lemurs, apes, tarsiers, bushbabies, humans, lorises and potoos as well as monkeys. There are two parvorders that include monkeys (See Wikipedia, 'Monkey'), Catarrhini and Platyrhini. Patyrhini includes the New World Monkeys and Catarrhini comprises the Old World Monkeys. Examples of monkey genera Papio Callicebus Leontopithecus MacacaCercopithecus Semnopithecus Callithrix In English, monkeys include Mangabeys macaques baboons leaf monkeys/langurs night monkeys vervet monkeys patas monkeys drills mandrills samango monkeys marmosets tamarins capuchins colobus monkeys guenons
