A '''monkey''' is a [[polypheletic]] classification of any long tailed [[primate]] that is not a [[prosimian]]. Varieties of them can be found in [[South America]], [[Africa]] and [[Asia]]. [[Evolutionists]] believe that [[humans]] and monkeys, like all species, share a common ancestor, which is disputed by more accurate [[creation scientists]]. A lack of transitional fossils between apes and humans supports the creationist side.
