Genuinely curious as to what you mean by "other primates". What else is there apart from humans and monkeys?

- WalterSear 10y agoPrimates are monkeys. A monkeys isn't necessarily primate.
- paublyrne 10y agoYou have that backwards.
- WalterSear 10y agoNope.
- WalterSear 10y agoDoh! My mistake.
- stonemetal 10y agoApes are not monkeys (monkeys have tails). In general primate is a very large group that includes lemurs and tarsiers.
- kentosi 10y agoI just had to google this. Thanks! I guess I never really questioned (learnt?) it and thought monkey/ape was interchangeable.
- wutbrodo 10y agoApes are also primates, but not monkeys. So for example, the rest of the great apes (orangutans, gorillas, chimps).
