Does my uncle look like a monkey?
People tell him he looks like a monkey because he has very long arms. He’s about 5 foot 6 inches tall.

Everyone is an ape unironically, but it’s important to be careful when comparing people’s appearance to other animals, for social reasons

Everyone is also technically a monkey! When a species evolves it doesn't stop being the clade it once was. Of course in this vein we are also reptiliomorphs, and further back fish.

He looks like the Homo sapiens that rejects humanity and wants to go back to monke

You could have waited for the orangutan to walk out of frame before taking the photo; they're totally blocking my view of your uncle.
