how are hominoids different from monkeys

Dear Student,
Monkeys and apes are both primates, which means that they’re both part of the human family tree. But there are following differences between hominoids and monkeys :-

• Main difference between a monkey and a hominoid is by the presence or absence of a tail. Almost all monkeys have tails while apes do not have tails.
• Their bodies are different in other ways too. Monkeys are generally smaller and narrow-chested whereas apes are larger and have broad chests and shoulder joints that allow them to swing through trees (while some monkeys also have this ability, most of them are built for running across branches rather than swinging).
• The apes are quite intelligent than the monkeys.
