Don't want to be that guy but...

The amount of people that don't know the difference between an ape and a monkey is too damn high

Actually i have to admit i dont know the difference between monkey, ape and human, the only thing i could notice is that monkeys seem to be the most civilized members of this family, and humans the least. Other than that, they are so similar that the name difference is just a pedantic technicality.
Besides i particularly like to use the name monkey for this game, its funnier.

Easy, in nearly all cases, monkeys have tails, and apes don't.

I was under the impression that all monkeys are apes, but not all apes are monkeys. Some are chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, etc.

Like the difference between man and human.

Man is the masculine gender of Humans, that's the only difference. Monkeys are not a gender of Apes.

It goes as follows :
Humans ----) Great apes -----) Primates ----) Animals.

Humans, Monkeys and Lemur and everything related to those are Primates.


The only way Monkeys can become ape is if they eventually gain a higher intelligence (so bigger brain), a bigger body, live longer and lose their tails.

All mammals have tails at some point during their development. In humans, it happens in the embryonic stages for 30 days, enough to grow the tail bone, then the genes turns off and other tissue grow on top for the next 4 weeks. This is called the Coccyx and all mammals, including Apes, have one.

Some people will develop mutation, such as an extra thumb, padded feet, a 5th appendage, a tail. These are cases of atavism, a rare biological occurrence in which an offspring will suddenly evolve traits shared by a distant ancestor, rather than shared with his or her parents. Basically, a millennia-old trait will unexpectedly reappear.

Maybe in a few millenia the tail bone will disappear, but for now, they are the grim reminders of our savage past.

Google "Monkey" and you'll find alot of pictures of chimpanzees, which arent monkeys. Most people misidentify Ape and Monkey, and interchangeably use the two.

Great Apes are more closely related to us, more bipedal skeletal structures. High intelligence. No Tail. Etc. Humans, gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, gibbons, and bonobos.
We are Great Apes, but we class ourselves outside of this simply because theres nothing anywhere near close to use, the closest being Chimpanzees.

Monkeys have skeletons similar to 4 legged animals. Often have a tail. Dont live as long. Intelligence, but not nearly as intelligent as the Great Apes. Baboons, macaques, marmosets, tamarins, and capuchins
