Are humans actually just monkeys?
People did not evolve from monkeys. This is not the belief of creationists or evolutionists. Claims that people evolved from monkeys come from a popular misconception and oversimplification of the theories of human origins developed from the fossil record.
Creationist belief on the origin of man:
Monkeys are part of God's creation, just like people. It says in Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." (New King James Version [NKJV]) Unlike evolutionary theory, there is no scientific evidence for creationism.
Evolutionist belief on the origin of man:
Humans are evolved from an ape-like ancestor. The evolutionary paths of man, monkeys, and other modern primates split millions of years before any of these species as we know them today existed. Our evolutionary predecessors are extinct, but these species, notably members of the genus Australopithecus are believed to be much more closely related to us than monkeys.
The exact details of the evolutionary line of humans is still debated, but monkeys are not on it.
Evolution and the world:
Nearly the entire scientific community of the world believes in Darwin's theory of Evolution, It is taught in nearly all western schools and in most middle eastern schools and nearly all Asian schools, except perhaps for religious schools. Pope John Paul II even accepted the theory of evolution although God was involved in the process.

Why do monkeys have pink bottoms?
Monkeys have pink bottoms due to the lack of fur in that area, which allows for increased blood flow and visibility of the skin's underlying blood vessels. This coloration can serve various purposes, such as signaling reproductive status or social dominance, particularly in species like baboons. The bright color can attract mates or establish hierarchy within groups. Additionally, the exposed skin may help regulate temperature.
No, but we are related distantly. We are related more closely to Great Apes (such as gorillas) than to monkeys.

Monkey brains are eaten as a delicacy in South East Asia, China, and Africa. In traditional Islamic dietary laws, the eating of monkeys is forbidden. However, monkeys are sometimes eaten in parts of Africa, where they can be sold as "bushmeat".Yes, they are eaten a great deal in Asia and in Africa as well. People also eat ape meat as well. Sadly it is not only dangerous for humans as disease spreads easy but it is dangerous for the non-human primates as well as when people go into the forests to find them humans bring disease. Plus many infants are orphaned due to the bushmeat trade and it does not help with endangered species numbers either.Parts are also used such as hands, feet, skulls and other bones for decorations and other pointless things
Did man and ape have a common ancestor?
An 'ape' is any primate belonging to the superfamily Hominoidea, and this includes humans, so we 'are' apes, along with gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. All these species though have a common ancestor.
