Monkeys are fairly well-studied four-armed mammals that are closest in origin and body structure to humans. In a broader sense, all monkeys are representatives of the order of primates (Rrimates). According to the new taxonomy, real monkeys are allocated to the infraorder Monkey-like, and unite with tarsiers, belonging to the suborder Dry-nosed primates (Harlorhini). All semi-monkeys (with the exception of tarsiers) are assigned to the suborder Wet-nosed primates (Strepsirrhini).
