Question: are monkeys more clever than humans? Please reply :)

Possibly. It probably depends on what you mean by clever. Monkey’s can’t build aeroplanes or do complicated maths or science experiments. Humans like us aren’t that great at surviving in the kinds of places where monkeys live really well like the jungle.
Scientist are discovering that some species of monkeys are far more clever than we thought and have taught them sign language to communicate, and have them doing other games to show they can do other things like counting.
