The scientific name for monkeys depends on the specific species. Monkeys are broadly divided into two groups: New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) and Old World monkeys (Cercopithecidae).
For example, the scientific name of the common chimpanzee is Pan troglodytes, while the scientific name of the rhesus macaque is Macaca mulatta.
It’s important to note that ‘monkey’ is a common term and not a scientific classification. Therefore, the scientific name varies depending on the specific species of monkey you are referring to.
