Humans and monkeys have a lot of similarities. We are both mammals. So that means we are both warm blooded which means we both need to stay warm or else =we can freeze to death, but other animals like snakes sharks etc are cold blooded also mammals are the only things that can sweat so we can die from overheating. Monkeys and humans also have opposable thumbs which means we can use our thumbs for tools like utensils. Monkeys generally have 48 chromosomes. This number of chromosomes is greater than the number passed by humans by two.
