my favorite animal is a monkey.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Monkeys are haplorhine primates, a group generally possessing tails and consisting of about 260\u00a0known living species. Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (arboreal), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Most species are also active during the day (diurnal). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent, particularly Old World monkeys. There are two major types of monkey: New World monkeys (platyrrhines) from South and Central America and Old World monkeys (catarrhines of the superfamily Cercopithecoidea) from Africa and Asia. Hominoid apes (consisting of gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans), which all lack tails, are also catarrhines but are not considered monkeys, although often they or their ancestors are (which cladistically automatically implies homonoids are as well.) (Tailless monkeys may be called \"apes\", incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the tailless Barbary macaque is sometimes called the \"Barbary ape\".) Simians (\"monkeys\") and tarsiers emerged within haplorrhines some 60 million years ago. New World monkeys and catarrhine monkeys emerged within the simians some 35 millions years ago. Old World monkeys and Hominoidea emerged within the catarrhine monkeys some 25 millions years ago.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "How is a monkey different from other animals ?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, monkeys are considered to be intelligent animals"}, {"role": "user", "content": "When did they come into the knowledge of humans as intelligent animals?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well about 25 million years ago, Hominoidea emerged along side Old World monkeys"}, {"role": "user", "content": "very interesting, did evolution affect monkeys as well?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Of course!
