Between 300 and 400 living species, depending on how you count. Scientists don't always agree on whether two different-looking populations should be considered as different species, different sub-species, or just different populations. There are of course likely thousands of extinct species that arose and went extinct over the last 70 million years or so since the first primates evolved.
