    We evolved from a common anscestor to monkeys and great apes (a class in which we belong). We are not, and did not, evolve from monkeys.

      Not like them condescending fools that say we come from monkeys, that ain’t my heritage! Is that your heritage?

      But people are primates that evolved from primates, whether monkey is misused in terminology referring to all primates or nor.
