Which primate is the closest relative to the common ancestor of all primates?
The last common ancestor between Homo sapiens and their closest relatives among other apes (Chimpanzees) occurred around 6 to 8 million years ago. Because this field is such a new one, and because the information is so limited, as of yet it is difficult to assign a specific species to the common ancestor. Right now the closest we have come is Sahelanthropus tchadensis.
When did the first primates appear?
Members of the genus Australopithecus lived in Africa from around four to three million years ago.

What characteristic of monotremes sets them apart from other mammals?
Monotremes
Monotremes are one of the three forms of mammals. All mammals suckle their young, have three middle-ear bones, and have hair.
Monotremes are the only mammals that lay eggs. They also have extra bones in the shoulder girdle. Their legs have spurs at the sides. These have no function excepting for in male platypuses; in male platypuses they contain venom. Monotremes have no nipples and no corpus callosum. Their body temperature is only about 90 degrees Fahrenheit (as opposed to 95 in marsupials and 99 in placental mammals). They are toothless as adults. They are the only mammals that can electrolocate and the only mammals with full cloacas.
An example of a monotreme is the duck-billed platypus.

Are chimpanzees capable of language?
Chimpanzees were the first to learn American Sign Language, which is considered a full-fledged language. The idea to teach them to communicate with their hands was first suggested as far back as the 17th century. However, it wasn't until the 1960s (based on the observation of a Primatologist active during the 1920s) that the Gardners, a husband-wife team of psychologists, began to teach American Sign Language to a young female chimp named Washoe. The results of their study were first published in 1969. A good book on the subject is Next of Kin: My Conversations with Chimpanzees (1997) by Roger Fouts.
Can you train a monkey to talk?
To a limited extent, yes. One female chimp was taught to say the words "mama," "papa," and "cup." However, she could only say these with limited success by plugging her nose and breathing inwards. Chimps will never attain full human speech because their vocal cords are located too high in their throats (just like human babies).
