    also monkeys and apes are very different. not only did we not evolve “from” any extant species, it most certainly was not monkeys.

      Homo Sapiens and all apes are monkeys. In the same way as we are mammals. You can not create a monophyletic clade for monkeys that does not include the ancestors of the great apes and thus of humans.
