The fact that you don't know the difference between a Chimpanzee and a

Well they do seem to have a somewhat similar genetic background,
unlike an Elephant and a rock Hyrax which most people would never
believe to have anything in common.

Scientifically, all Apes *are* Monkeys, but not all Monkeys are Apes.

Linguistically, Ape is the original word (of unknown origin) and was
(and is) valid for all Monkeys (a later word) although the use of Ape
has generally shrunk to the sub-group.
