Monkeys are fascinating primates that belong to the infraorder Simiiformes, which also includes apes and humans. Originating millions of years ago, they are believed to have evolved from earlier primate species. Monkeys are typically found in tropical rainforests, savannas, and mountainous regions across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Their significance extends beyond their ecological roles; they are integral to various cultures as symbols of intelligence, mischief, and social dynamics. Monkeys play a crucial role in their ecosystems, acting as seed dispersers and contributing to forest regeneration. Additionally, they have been subjects of scientific research, helping humans understand evolutionary biology, social structures, and cognitive functions.
