 Molecular Biology and Primate Phylogenetics
What trained scientists have been saying is that humans and monkeys (and all other life on earth in fact) share a common ancestor somewhere in the distant past.
Studying the nucleotide sequences of DNA, and/or the amino acid sequences of proteins, gives scientists one of a growing number of ways to analyze relationships and infer ancestry for life on earth.
Scientists can take this information to construct a phylogenetic tree that shows the branching patterns of descent.

 Dinwiddie - "Countrey of Apamatica" Chapter 1
In 1785 John Banister, requesting for the second time to be relieved of his post as Lieutenant of County Militia, referred to the "time of profound peace" that had settled upon the country, adding that "the particular State of the County" did not seem to him to make his resignation improper.

John Gill Lemmon (1832-1908) moved to California in 1866 and began his long botanical career there; most of his plants were named by Watson.

All cultural as well as biological traits are distributed over a population curve, with the mean and the mode correlating to the memetic selection bias.
As Hull observes, no two scientists even with identical theoretical commitments interpret their views exactly the same way, and it is an oft repeated half joke, half complaint, that there are as many views in a research program as there are practitioners, sometimes even more.
