That was definitely the easiest riddle I have ever solved.
it's a shame people have believed the fallacies of evolution.
can't argue with you there. But, scientific classification of animals is not wholely dependant upon evolutionary theory; I think we can all agree theres a clear set of common traits among most birds.
Seeing as this was in the trick category, I thought the smartest one would have been the one that got out of the room.
Good thing you added "hopefully" to the answer. You can never be too sure
i liked that 1, it was very cute!
Some of you guys are WAY to scientific
the situation says you're not in a room. its definitely incorrect
I do not believe that we should be classified as primates. Witness sums it all up here.
we are homo sapians not primates
According to this riddle, we are primates. But you are right jdc, we're classified as homo sapiens.
I've heard this one before.
While you may question the accuracy of classifying humans as primates, do not question the validty. We are know from a scientific standpoint as members of the primate order:
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Subphylum Vertebrata
Class Mammalia
Order Primates
Family Hominidae
Genus Homo
Species sapiens
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Subphylum Vertebrata
Class Mammalia
Order Primates
Family Hominidae
Genus Homo
Species sapiens
unbelievable wize, some of these people are totally clueless
LOL! "Hopefully, you," is exactly what I said out loud to myself before looking at the answer.
one of those people would be me brutu
Shouldn't it read ".....are primates as ARE monkeys."
??

Are the monkeys writing Hamlet, or what?

Hahah........
What? Oh I'm in the room! Gotcha, Gotcha!
i luv monkeys and this teaser i can relate 2 monkeys rock
Cute but easy. I got it right away. Although, I don't think I would feel very smart if I were to be in a room with three monkeys - unless they were restrained in a cage - they can be quite violent when they feel threatened!!
Got it, what an ego boost. I like it when I feel smart!!!
I only have a couple of favorites, but this is DEFINITELY going there too. I have some family to try this out on LOL

I've checked my family tree,, no hairy apes swinging on it.
Well I'll be a monkeys uncle!
You are a primate whether or not you came from apes. That is a fact.
(Of course, the fact that we came from apes is practically a fact, and there are still many people who won't admit it. But 'my family tree doesn't have any apes in it' is just a stupid way to avoid the question.)

LOL, good one!

technically there is no wrong answer. If you said yourself thats right. but if you said one of the monkeys, its right as well because your obviously stupid if you don't know you are a primate. unless you're an alien. then you suck and your wrong all the time.
and if bush was in the room... he would be the stupidest monkey and i'm sure the one with the stick would beat him with it. and the one with the bananana would smear it on his face. as for the monkey with nothing, that monkey would fling poop at him.
speaking of flinging poop this game is cool:

Well, that teaser only works for some of us...
The answer is very controversial, and you will probably get more people disagreeing with you.
As for myself, I didn't come from monkeys. God made humans and monkeys differently. People were never monkeys, they were always people.

Wow are you people stupid. Any mammal with reposable thumbs are classified as primates, be it a homo sapien or an ape. It really isn't "contraversial".
This teaser is alot like the one about the leprechauns.
Man. Some people out there just don't think. "Controversial"? Wow.
Good teaser though. Easy but funny.
