Despite the common ancestor shared between man and monkeys, evolution has caused them to develop different characteristics. Humans are bipedal and have a larger brain, while monkeys mainly live in trees and have adapted to a simpler lifestyle. They also have different diets, habits, and reproductive cycles which have lead to their separate evolutionary paths.

Man developed from monkeys via a process of evolution, and over the millions of years since our split, monkeys have continued to evolve as well, though less drastically than humans.
