Monkey

A collective term for tailed primates, divided into Old World and New World monkeys. They are phylogenetically distinct from the tailless apes.
In 2005, Yale researchers taught capuchin monkeys to use metal tokens as currency. The monkeys developed gambling and loss aversion spontaneously. Some males exchanged tokens with females for food.
