Monkeys and Human Beings

What are the differences and the similarities between us, human beings, and monkeys? Let’s think about it. You will see a lot of things that you do not notice in your daily life.

First, human beings have more intelligence than monkeys. We, human beings, can speak our own languages and communicate with people. However, it does not mean that monkeys cannot speak to each other. I believe that they communicate in their own way. Human beings can make use of fire, which monkeys cannot. We have the abilities to cook with fire, while monkeys tend to eat what they get straight away. We also wear clothes, which monkeys do not. That is all because we are more intelligent than monkeys. Some monkeys are trained very well by human beings and become very clever. Every time I see those monkeys on TV, I am so amazed how monkeys can be smart. Besides I am even afraid that monkeys will realize that they can be smarter than us, human beings. It is not too much to say that monkeys can usurp everything from human beings sometime in the future like in some movies.

Second, human beings have their own culture, for example, like going to school or work every day. Although monkeys do not go to school or work, they go to get food by themselves, while human beings just pay money to buy food at supermarkets. Monkeys live outside and sleep on the trees, while we just go back home and sleep in the bed. We do not really live as a troop.

Lastly, the biggest difference between monkeys and human beings is the appearance. Monkeys have long tales and red buttocks which we, human beings, never have. Their bodies are also covered with a lot of hair, which I believe is because they live outside as mentioned before. They do not erect but walk with four limbs, and can climb a tree quite well.
Although monkeys and human beings have a lot of differences, we have some similarities at the same time. For instance, monkeys are said to be the ancestors of human beings. As far as I can see, both of us are primate and omnivorous. We have a head to think and extremities to move. Most of all, we have emotions and a spirit to love someone. I think love is the most wonderful thing to have for life. I figure every single creature has the same most important thing.
