Please go spend some time browsing this fascinating web site:
http://www.tolweb.org/tree/
It's the Tree of Life web project, and it allows you to navigate the tree of speciation as we know it.
You might want to start here in the "middle" of the tree:
http://www.tolweb.org/Eutheria/15997
Notice on that page the link for Primates. Click on it and then keep exploring.
While you are there, at the bottom of each page you will see references cited by the large body of scientists that are deriving this information from a variety of approaches. Note that each of these publications are peer reviewed.

Man never was a monkey. We evolved from an early primate.

A lemur.
...
The ancestors of modern humans and monkeys parted company after their ancestors parted ways with the ancestors of lemurs.

Ok... say it with me...
"science
does
not
say
man
used
to
be
a
monkey."
The only people that say that are the uneducated Christians.
When you can actually understand that, come back and we'll chat.
