A monkey is any cercopithecoid (Old World monkey) or platyrrhine (New World monkey) primate. All primates that are not prosimians (lemurs and tarsiers) or apes are monkeys. The 264 known extant monkey species represent two of the three groupings of simian primates (the third group being the 21 species of apes). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent and, unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails.

The New World monkeys are classified within the parvorder Platyrrhini, whereas the Old World monkeys (superfamily Cercopithecoidea) form part of the parvorder Catarrhini, which also includes the apes. Thus, scientifically speaking, monkeys are paraphyletic (not a single coherent group) and Old World monkeys are actually more closely related to the apes than they are to the New World monkeys.

What is the actual functon of the Sea Monkey and how does it work?
Q. I don't understand how it comes out of a packet, hatches and then swims about. And why monkey when it isn't a monkey.

A. They're not monkeys. They're brine shrimps. The name was given to them to make them seem more interesting. Brine shrimps evolved to live in the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Because the edges of the lake dry up regularly, they have evolved so that their eggs can be dried out completely and will remain in suspended animation until rain falls again and the lake fills up. This means the eggs can be put in packets and sold. When added to water, they hatch into new brine shrimps.

A. 1925 - Dayton, TN John Scopes was put on trial for teaching evolution in the classroom in violation of Tennessee law. What most people have lost sight of after 83 years is that the Scopes Monkey Trial was nothing more than a publicity stunt. John Scopes, the teacher, for lack of a better term, was recruited to be the defendant in the case. There was no Salem Witch-Hunt in Dayton with preachers trolling the hallways of Dayton s schools hunting for teachers who were violating Tennessee s prohibition on teaching evolution. The whole idea of suing a teacher for teaching evolution was not conceived by the citizens of Dayton, Tennessee, but rather was promoted by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in New York City. The ACLU… [cont.]

The simians (infraorder Simiiformes) are the "higher primates" familiar to most people: the Old World monkeys and apes, including humans, (together being the catarrhines), and the New World monkeys or platyrrhines. Simians tend to be larger than the "lower primates" or prosimians.
