Genuinely curious as to what you mean by "other primates". What else is there apart from humans and monkeys?

Apes are not monkeys (monkeys have tails). In general primate is a very large group that includes lemurs and tarsiers.
I just had to google this. Thanks! I guess I never really questioned (learnt?) it and thought monkey/ape was interchangeable.
Apes are also primates, but not monkeys. So for example, the rest of the great apes (orangutans, gorillas, chimps).
Primates are monkeys. A monkeys isn't necessarily primate.
You have that backwards.
Doh! My mistake.
Nope.
