Monkeys were in that lineage between single celled organisms and you.
Monkeys are a group of animals. Our ancestors come from that group. They are classified as monkeys. All of us had monkey ancestors.
I think you're confusing that with the specific species of monkey that are alive today. Those are distant relatives of ours, not ancestors.
