And even the study can easily be proven wrong. A finite amount of monkeys already produced Shakespeare in a finite amount of time; it took roughly 25 million years.

Primates ≠ monkeys

If baboons and macaques are monkeys, and if howlermonkeys and spidermonkeys are monkeys, humans MUST be monkeys.
Because they can ONLY both be monkeys if their common ancestor was also a monkey and we share that very same common ancestor. In fact we are closer related to macaques and baboons than to spidermonkeys.
Humans are apes, apes are a subgroup of monkeys, monkeys are a subgroub of primates.

Simiformes is a clear and distinct clade.
There is no such thing for trees, because “tree” is a botanical classification, not a cladistical one.

Monkeys are specifically non-ape simians.
