People are convinced 'monkeys are humans' after seeing one take man's jacket off and put it on
People are convinced that 'monkeys are humans' after incredible footage shows the animal taking a man's jacket off and putting it on.
Humans and monkeys are both primates - which are a diverse order of mammals.
But they are slightly different as humans are not descended from monkeys or any other primate living today.
We as humans do share a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees, but humans and chimpanzees evolved differently from that same ancestor.

So, there is some truth that monkeys can share some characteristics to humans, and that might just be evident through an incredible new TikTok video.
In a video uploaded to the TikTok account @steff_tay, we see a man in what looks like a petting zoo with a monkey looking right at him.
Watch it below:
This one for sure is a cheeky monkey, as he unzips the man's jacket, with people around him laughing and in shock.
Next, the monkey attempts to take the man's jacket off but has a bit of difficulty, so the man pulls it down slightly to help the struggling primate.
But the monkey has no difficulty in pulling off the rest of the jacket as it drops to the floor.
Incredibly, the monkey, who is apparently called George, picks up the jacket and attempts to put it on.
He hilariously put it on his head first, which has all the people in attendance in stitches.
However, the clever animal quickly realises he should be putting the jacket on his arms, and he successfully does so.
The monkey then tries to zip the jacket up just like the man had, though he does have it inside out - not that it takes anything away from this surprising moment.
One person can be heard shouting 'they are humans', meanwhile other constantly muttered 'OMG' as they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
People in the comments of the TikTok were equally shocked, with a lot finding it hilarious.
One person said: "Imagine he just zips it up and just casually walks off."
A second added: "I don't like when you guys laughed at him because I feel like he can understand."
And a third said: "I thought the monkey was about to go west then it asked for his jacket."
