Monkeys are divided into two groups: Old World monkeys (Cercopithecoidea)
and New World monkeys (Ceboidea). ... The Old World monkeys and the New World monkeys have social lifestyles that are
very similar. ...
Old World monkeys are found in South Asia, with a few species as far north as Japan
and North China, and in all of Africa excluding the deserts. Old World monkeys include the
many species of macaque monkeys that are found throughout Africa and Asia. ... Other Old World
monkeys are baboons, mangabey, langurs, and quenons. Guenons are a large group of
long-legged, long-tailed omnivorous monkeys found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. ...
New World monkeys are located in South Mexico to Central South America, except in
the high mountains. ...
Callatrichids are very small, while the Cebids are similar in size to the Old World monkeys. New
World monkeys also include the marmosets and tamarins. Marmosets and tamarins are small
monkeys with claws that are classified in the family of their own, the Callithricidae. The rest of
the New World monkeys are classified in the family Cebidae. Cebidae includes the capuchin,
spider monkey, woolly monkey, and howler monkeys. Smaller monkeys belonging to the cebidae
family are the squirrel monkey, titi, douroucouli monkey (owl monkey), the saki and the ouakari
monkey.
Appearances of primates are an easy way to put them into their proper group as
New World or Old World monkeys.
