Short answer: Nobody can predict the future, genetic or otherwise.

Long answer: By the time (millions of years from now) that this would even be possible, it would be hard to say what is a human and what is a monkey. Genetically speaking, humans are a species of monkey. In other words, there are monkeys more closely related to us than they are to other monkeys. But we are so behaviorally diverged from other monkeys that scientists continue to place us in our own family. Any future species of highly intelligent primate will likely have diverged in a similar way, and may not resemble a stereotypical "monkey" any more than we do. On the other hand, our own evolution will continue, and our descendants will probably look very different from us.

To answer your very silly question with all seriousness, it is silly to think that humans will remain the dominant species on the planet for the rest of eternity. Other species have risen to dominance and then fallen in the past, and there is no reason to believe seriously that "this time is different".

It's very unlikely monkeys will take our place though, they are too much like us. In all likelihood, we will bring about our own demise with war, pollution or disease (or a combination of all three), and I would put my money on the cockroaches as the next group of species to hold dominion over the planet.

Actualy moneys and humans are from same genetic ancestors but our evaluation has been seperated at some point and one specie became homo and others became monkey kind. Well homo sapiens are us, modern humans; homo neandertalis are our cousins that we destroyed by isolation, it is impossible for monkey specie to be humans with evoluation but who knows maybe in a few billion years they will evolve into a smarter specie with better communication skills. More over, monkeys are not ancestors of humans, we are both modern species but at some point we have had same ancestors.

Not possible. If monkeys are advancing in evolution, then so are humans. Since humans have a huge head start there is no evidence that any other species could bypass us.
It is possible that one or other species could become extinct, however while most non-human animals are in decline -- - the humans have an over population problem.

I doubt it.

Humans have the money, weapons, mean spirit, buidings, governments, etc. The monkeys are the ones in cages being experimented upon whithout their consent. A chimp is 98% the same as a humans. HUmans and chimps are more closely related than chimps and gorillas are.

By the time monkeys evolve that high...human's will not be around and THEY will be the humans

Lower Mammals evolved into the dominant species because the then dominant species, Dinosaurs were extinct. So it stands to reason that if humans were to suddenly not exist, another species would evolve to take it's place but whose to say what that would be.

I think if they get the least bit out of control humans are smart enough to kill them off. Besides, evolution takes millions of years. The sun will have exploded and everybody will die before they have the chance :)

Nope! I thought I read somewhere that birds would eventually take over the earth.
