Explanation

The new world monkey's possess a flat nose with widely separated and outwardly directed nostrils. Their tail is long, sensitive and prehensile ofr grasping the branches of trees, but their limbs cannot be used for grasping the branches of trees, because of non-opposable thumbs and mostly clawed digit. the orld world monkeys posses a narrow nose with closely placed and downwardly directed nostrils. their tail is generally short and not prehensile, but their limbs having opposable thumbs and nailed digits, are well adapated for grasping. they are closer to man as they have better developed brain, smaller ear pinnae, sensitive finger tips, presence of both rods and cones in the retina of eyes etc.
