Lol, this is also wrong. Replace ape with primate and you’ve got something more accurate. If you actually care about maintaining phyletic groups then apes ( and thus humans) are old world monkeys.
I can’t image that to be correct honestly. Apes have much further developed brains than monkeys, so I would assume it logical that apes evolved from monkeys and not the other way around.
This graphic seems to support my assumption if I am not mistaken:
Monkeys were in that lineage between single celled organisms and you.
Apes. Not monkeys.
Apes evolved from monkeys. Monkeys are in your lineage.
You got it backward—monkeys evolved from apes.

Yes, but they’re not our main ancestors. A distant relative is. That relative was created by millions of years of natural selection.
Monkeys are a group of animals. Our ancestors come from that group. They are classified as monkeys. All of us had monkey ancestors.
I think you’re confusing that with the specific species of monkey that are alive today. Those are distant relatives of ours, not ancestors.
