What is your point? Humans did not originate from monkeys. No biologist would say they did.

I'm no biologist and don't play one on the Internet, but I'll be the one to sound a sour note.

Humans are not descended from any modern monkey species. However, it's highly likely that if you had a time machine and were tracing human ancestry back through time, you would arrive at a population of animals that you would unquestionably call monkeys.

The original argument was about common ancestors, not about our direct ancestor. Baraonda is conflating the two.
