		The New World monkeys are found from S Mexico to central South America, except in the high mountains, and are classified into two families (Callatrichids and Cebids).
		The New World monkeys include the marmosets and tamarins, small monkeys with claws that are classified in a family of their own, the Callithricidae.
		Smaller forms with nonprehensile tails are the squirrel monkey and titi, the nocturnal douroucouli, or owl monkey, the saki, and the ouakari.

	Old World monkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Old World monkeys or Cercopithecidae are a group of primates, falling in the superfamily Cercopithecoidea in the clade Catarrhini.
		From the point of view of superficial appearance, they are unlike apes in that most have tails (the family name means "tailed ape"), and unlike the New World monkeys in that their tails are never prehensile.
		Technically, the distinction of catarrhines from platyrrhines depends on the structure of the nose, and the distinction of Old World monkeys from apes depends on dentition.

		More specifically, the term monkey is restricted to the species that in the Americas constitute the families Cebidae (CAPUCHIN MONKEY; HOWLER MONKEY; SPIDER MONKEY,) and Callitrichidae (MARMOSET,); and in the Old World constitute the family Cercopithecidae (BABOON; LANGUR; MACAQUE,).
		All monkeys in this family are arboreal and feed primarily on fruits and insects.
		For the monkeys that adapted to life on the ground, the characteristics developed from arboreal life serve them well: manual dexterity, keen vision, and an ability to learn quickly from experience.

	OLDEST MONKEY SKULL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Carbondale, IL (7/24/97) A newly discovered 15 million year old monkey skull is shaking up previous notions of the evolutionary path of monkeys and humans.
		The discovery is likely to contribute much to the understanding of the history and radiation of Old World monkeys.
		Until the discovery of this skull, the oldest ever found, the consensus was that African and Asian apes had a common ancestor with a round head, short face and small teeth made for eating leaves, resembling a modern-day gibbon.

	Physical Anthropology Update
		The early Old World monkeys, the Cercopithecidae from the Miocene, are commonly assigned to the family Victoriapithecidae.
		The researchers conclude on the basis of the anatomy of the cranium and dentition that the new find is clearly an Old World monkey (Cercopithecoidea) belonging to the family Victoriapithecidae, and not to the living family, Cercopithecidae.
		If the antiquity of this sample is correct, then domestication in the New World started thousands of years before the date currently accepted, and at about the same time as domestication began in the Old World.

		For years, those who studied monkeys and apes in Africa and Asia believed that the ancestor of them all had a round head, short face and small teeth made for eating leaves.
