Humans did not come directly from monkeys, I was speaking colloquially. They came from an ancestor species. One group mutated to suit a jungle environment, and the other to suit a forest environment. The two evolved seperately to fill their environmental niche, hence where the species are today.

  A grossly simplified variation:

Mutations ---Mutations-Monkeys

Ancestor>

Mutations ---Mutations-Humans
