Contrast Old World monkeys with New World monkeys What will be an ideal response?
Old World monkeys (superfamily Cercopithecoidea) include the macaque, baboon, and
proboscis monkey, and are characterized by close-set, downward-directed nostrils (like those
of apes and humans), grasping hands, and a non-prehensile tail. Present-day Old World
monkeys are distributed throughout the tropical regions of Africa and Asia and are thought to
have evolved from a primitive anthropoid ancestor, like Aegyptopithecus, sometime during
the Oligocene.
