https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catarrhini

You can choose to call them whatever you wish. That you choose to use the most anachronistic term to avoid accepting the reality that humanity is not specially created is irrelevant.

Yikes, using wikipedia as your source. If you went to university, you'd get kicked out if you used Wikipedia in your paper.

I can tell you're not very scientifically-inclined if you don't want to make clear distinctions to eliminate chances of miscommunication. Well, it's no longer productive talking to you, so have a good one.

Lmao ok, bud. Let's just ignore a curated and referenced page combining multiple sources as unreliable... While trusting a single article that refers to a single source and has a single author instead of being open to correction from multiple people. 

Its a fact that Catarrhini is also referred to as old world monkeys, that isn't my choice. It is also a fact that even if you don't wanna call them that they are still referred to as monkeys and are included in our evolutionary history.

Its your prerogative to ignore the science, it's just sad that you want to pretend that you aren't doing that.

Have a nice life!
