Actually monkeys are primates but not the other way
around.
The primates include lemurs, monkeys, and apes. The apes
are the ones without tails, and we are apes. Among the
great apes the chimpanzee and bonobo are closest, then we
join in, then gorillas, and the orangutang is more distant.
This is measuring by percentage of genetic material that is
the same.
Yes, you heard it right. We are biologically more similar
to chimps than either we or chimps are to gorillas.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
