Monkeyis a common name that may refer to most mammals of theinfraorderSimiiformes,also known as the simians. Traditionally, all animals in the group now known as simians are counted as monkeys except theapes.Thus monkeys, in that sense, constitute an incompleteparaphyleticgrouping; however, in the broader sense based oncladistics,apes (Hominoidea) are also included, making the termsmonkeysandsimianssynonyms in regard to their scope.

In 1812,Étienne Geoffroygrouped theapesand theCercopithecidaegroup of monkeys together and established the nameCatarrhini,"Old World monkeys", ( "singes de l'Ancien Monde"inFrench).[3][4][5]The extant sister of the Catarrhini in the monkey ( "singes" ) group is thePlatyrrhini(New World monkeys).[3]Some nine million years before the divergence between the Cercopithecidae and the apes,[6]the Platyrrhini emerged within "monkeys" by migration to South Americafrom Afro-Arabia (the Old World),[citation needed][7][8]likely by ocean.[9][10][better source needed]Apes are thus deep in the tree of extant and extinct monkeys, and any of the apes is distinctly closer related to the Cercopithecidae than the Platyrrhini are.

Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (arboreal), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such asbaboons.Most species are mainly active during the day (diurnal). Monkeys are generallyconsidered to be intelligent,especially the Old World monkeys.

Within suborderHaplorhini,the simians are a sister group to thetarsiers– the two members diverged some 70 million years ago.[11]New World monkeys and catarrhine monkeys emerged within the simians roughly 35 million years ago. Old World monkeys and apes emerged within the catarrhine monkeys about 25 million years ago. Extinct basal simians such asAegyptopithecusorParapithecus(35–32 million years ago) are also considered monkeys by primatologists.[12][9][13][14][15][16]

Lemurs,lorises,andgalagosare not monkeys, butstrepsirrhineprimates (suborder Strepsirrhini). The simians'sister group,the tarsiers, are also haplorhine primates; however, they are also not monkeys.[citation needed]

Apes emerged within monkeys as sister of the Cercopithecidae in the Catarrhini, so cladistically they are monkeys as well. However, there has been resistance to directly designate apes (and thus humans) as monkeys, so "Old World monkey" may be taken to mean either the Cercopithecoidea (not including apes) or the Catarrhini (including apes).[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]That apes are monkeys was already realized byGeorges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffonin the 18th century.[26]Linnaeusplaced this group in 1758 together with the tarsiers, in a single genus "Simia"(sansHomo), an ensemble now recognised as the Haplorhini.[27]

Monkeys, including apes, can be distinguished from other primates by having only two pectoral nipples, a pendulous penis, and a lack of sensorywhiskers.[28][better source needed]

Historical and modern terminology

TheBarbary macaqueis also known as the Barbary ape.

According to theOnline Etymology Dictionary,the word "monkey" may originate in aGermanversion of theReynard the Foxfable, publishedc. 1580.In this version of the fable, a character named Moneke is the son of Martin the Ape.[29]In English, no clear distinction was originally made between "ape" and "monkey"; thus the 1911Encyclopædia Britannicaentry for "ape" notes that it is either a synonym for "monkey" or is used to mean a tailless humanlike primate.[30]Colloquially, the terms "monkey" and "ape" are widely used interchangeably.[31][32]Also, a few monkey species have the word "ape" in their common name, such as theBarbary ape.

Later in the first half of the 20th century, the idea developed that there were trends inprimate evolutionand that the living members of the order could be arranged in a series, leading through "monkeys" and "apes" to humans.[33]Monkeys thus constituted a "grade"on the path to humans and were distinguished from" apes ".

Scientific classifications are now more often based onmonophyleticgroups, that is groups consisting ofallthe descendants of a common ancestor. The New World monkeys and the Old World monkeys are each monophyletic groups, but their combination was not, since it excluded hominoids (apes and humans). Thus, the term "monkey" no longer referred to a recognized scientifictaxon.The smallest accepted taxon which contains all the monkeys is the infraorderSimiiformes,or simians. However this also contains the hominoids, so that monkeys are, in terms of currently recognized taxa, non-hominoid simians. Colloquially and pop-culturally, the term is ambiguous and sometimes monkey includes non-human hominoids.[34]In addition, frequent arguments are made for a monophyletic usage of the word "monkey" from the perspective that usage should reflect cladistics.[21][35][36][37][38]

Several science-fiction and fantasy stories have depicted non-human (fantastical or alien) antagonistic characters refer tohumansas monkeys, usually in a derogatory manner, as a form ofmetacommentary.[39]

A group of monkeys may be commonly referred to as a tribe or a troop.[40]

Two separate groups of primates are referred to as "monkeys":New World monkeys(platyrrhines) from South and Central America and Old World monkeys (catarrhinesin the superfamily Cercopithecoidea) from Africa and Asia.Apes(hominoids)—consisting ofgibbons,orangutans,gorillas,chimpanzeesandbonobos,andhumans—are also catarrhines but were classically distinguished from monkeys.[41][9][42][43]Tailless monkeys may be called "apes", incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the taillessBarbary macaqueis historically called the "Barbary ape".[32]

Description

As apes have emerged in the monkey group as sister of the old world monkeys, characteristics that describe monkeys are generally shared by apes as well. Williams et al. outlined evolutionary features, including in stem groupings, contrasted against the other primates such as thetarsiersand thelemuriformes.[44]

Monkeys range in size from thepygmy marmoset,which can be as small as117 mm (4+5⁄8in) with a172 mm (6+3⁄4in) tail and just over100 g (3+1⁄2oz) in weight,[45]to the malemandrill,almost 1 m (3 ft 3 in) long and weighing up to 36 kg (79 lb).[46]Some arearboreal(living in trees) while others live on thesavanna;diets differ among the various species but may contain any of the following: fruit, leaves, seeds, nuts, flowers, eggs and small animals (including insects and spiders).[47]

Some characteristics are shared among the groups; most New World monkeys have long tails, with those in the Atelidae family beingprehensile,while Old World monkeys have non-prehensile tails or no visible tail at all.[32]Old World monkeys havetrichromaticcolor visionlike that of humans, while New World monkeys may be trichromatic,dichromatic,or—as in theowl monkeysandgreater galagos—monochromatic.Although both the New and Old World monkeys, like the apes, have forward-facing eyes, the faces of Old World and New World monkeys look very different, though again, each group shares some features such as the types of noses, cheeks and rumps.[47]

Classification

The following list shows where the various monkey families (bolded) are placed in the classification of living (extant) primates.

Cladogram with extinct families

Below is acladogramwith some extinct monkey families.[48][49][50]Generally, extinct non-hominoid simians, including early catarrhines are discussed as monkeys as well as simians or anthropoids,[41][9][42]whichcladisticallymeans that Hominoidea are monkeys as well, restoring monkeys as a single grouping. It is indicated approximately how many million years ago (Mya) the clades diverged into newer clades.[51][52][53][54]It is thought the New World monkeys started as a drifted "Old World monkey" group from the Old World (probably Africa) to the New World (South America).[9]

Relationship with humans

The many species of monkey have varied relationships with humans. Some arekept as pets,others used asmodel organismsin laboratories or in space missions. They may be killed inmonkey drives(when they threaten agriculture) or used asservice animalsfor the disabled.

In some areas, some species of monkey are considered agriculturalpests,and can cause extensive damage to commercial and subsistence crops.[55][56]This can have important implications for the conservation of endangered species, which may be subject to persecution. In some instances farmers' perceptions of the damage may exceed the actual damage.[57]Monkeys that have become habituated to human presence in tourist locations may also be considered pests, attacking tourists.[58]

Public exhibition

Many zoos have maintained a facility in which monkeys and other primates are kept within enclosures for public entertainment. Commonly known as a monkey house (primatarium), sometimes styledMonkey House,notable examples include London Zoo'sMonkey Valley;[59][60]Zoo Basel's Monkey house/exhibit;theMonkey Tropic Houseat Krefeld Zoo;Bronx Zoo's Monkey House;Monkey Jungle,Florida;Lahore Zoo's Monkey House;Monkey World,Dorset, England; andEdinburgh Zoo's Monkey House.Former cinema,The Scala, Kings Crossspent a short time as a primatarium.[61]

As service animals for disabled people

See also:Service animal § Helper monkey

Some organizations traincapuchin monkeysasservice animalsto assistquadriplegicsand other people with severe spinal cord injuries ormobility impairments.After beingsocializedin a human home as infants, the monkeys undergo extensive training before being placed with disabled people. Around the house, the monkeys assist withdaily taskssuch as feeding, fetching, manipulating objects, and personal care.[62]

Helper monkeysare usually trained in schools by private organizations, taking seven years to train, and are able to serve 25–30 years (two to three times longer than aguide dog).[63]

In 2010, theU.S. federal governmentrevised its definition of service animal under theAmericans with Disabilities Act(ADA). Non-human primates are no longer recognized as service animals under the ADA.[64]TheAmerican Veterinary Medical Associationdoes not support the use of non-human primates as assistance animals because ofanimal welfareconcerns, the potential for serious injury to people, and risks that primatesmay transfer dangerous diseases to humans.[65]

In experiments

Main article:Animal testing on non-human primates

The most common monkey species found in animal research are thegrivet,therhesus macaque,and thecrab-eating macaque,which are either wild-caught or purpose-bred.[66][67]They are used primarily because of their relative ease of handling, their fast reproductive cycle (compared to apes) and their psychological and physical similarity tohumans.Worldwide, it is thought that between 100,000 and 200,000 non-human primates are used in research each year,[67]64.7% of which are Old World monkeys, and 5.5% New World monkeys.[68]This number makes a very small fraction of all animals used in research.[67]Between 1994 and 2004 the United States has used an average of 54,000 non-human primates, while around 10,000 non-human primates were used in theEuropean Unionin 2002.[68]

In space

Main article:Monkeys and apes in space

A number of countries have used monkeys as part of their space exploration programmes, including the United States and France. The first monkey in space wasAlbert II,who flew in the US-launchedV-2 rocketon June 14, 1949.[69]

As food

Main article:Monkey meat

Monkey brainsare eaten as a delicacy in parts ofSouth Asia,Africa and China.[70]Monkeys are sometimes eaten in parts of Africa, where they can be sold as "bushmeat".In traditionalIslamic dietary laws,the eating of monkeys isforbidden.[71]

Literature

Illustration of Indian monkeys known asbandarfrom the illuminated manuscriptBaburnama(Memoirs of Babur)

Sun Wukong(the "Monkey King" ), a character who figures prominently inChinese mythology,is the protagonist in the classic Chinese novelJourney to the West.

Monkeys are prevalent in numerous books, television programs, and movies. Thetelevision seriesMonkeyand the literary charactersMonsieur EekandCurious Georgeare all examples.

Informally, "monkey" may refer to apes, particularly chimpanzees, gibbons, and gorillas. AuthorTerry Pratchettalludes to this difference in usage in hisDiscworldnovels, in which theLibrarianof theUnseen Universityis anorangutanwho gets very violent if referred to as a monkey. Another example is the use ofSimians in Chinese poetry.

Thewinged monkeysare prominent characters inL. Frank Baum'sWizard of Ozbooks and in the1939 filmbased on Baum's 1900 novelThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Religion and worship

Abhinandananathawith his symbol of monkey below his idol

Monkey is the symbol of fourthTirthankarainJainism,Abhinandananatha.[72][73]

Hanuman,a prominent deity inHinduism,is a human-like monkey god who is believed to bestow courage, strength and longevity to the person who thinks about him orRama.

InBuddhism,the monkey is an early incarnation of Buddha but may also represent trickery and ugliness. TheChinese Buddhist"mind monkey"metaphor refers to the unsettled, restless state of human mind. Monkey is also one of the Three Senseless Creatures, symbolizing greed, with the tiger representing anger and the deer lovesickness.

TheSanzaru,orthree wise monkeys,are revered in Japanese folklore; together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".[74]

TheMochepeople of ancient Peru worshipped nature.[75]They placed emphasis on animals and often depicted monkeys in their art.[76]

TheTzeltalpeople of Mexico worshipped monkeys as incarnations of their dead ancestors.

Zodiac

Notes

  1. ^WhenCarl Linnaeusdefined thegenusSimiain the10th edition ofSystema Naturae,it included all non-human monkeys and apes (simians).[2]Although "monkey" was never a taxonomic name, and is instead avernacular namefor a paraphyletic group, its members fall under the infraorder Simiiformes.
