Are some people more closely related to monkeys then others? Does this have any connection with parents & their children looking identical?

There are some genetic traits in modern humans that are unevolved
or relatively unevolved from their earlier ape forms. Not all of such
ancestral traits are necessarily inferior. Such traits are statistically
most common among africans and australoids. However, many
eurasians have some degree of australoid ancestry, and that is proven
by the haplogroup distribution.

Such traits include very low IQ (below 80), chimpanzee-like rage
(that trait is most common in australoid mongols), a relatively small
brain and braincase, a short sloping forehead, bone brow ridges,
unibrow eyebrows, facial prognathism, short legs with long arms
(which occurs in some africans), a yellow sclera (which occurs in some
africans), a saggital ridge on the skull (which is more common in africans
and asians), and various other traits. Even black hair is more ancestral
than the other hair colors, and thick-stranded straight hair (which is
typical of east asians and amerindians) is more ancestral than the other
hair strand forms.

We humans share a great deal of our genetic material with monkeys, so some of us are going to be more closely related to monkeys than others, sure. That difference is going to be absolutely negligible though, as all humans are more closely related to other humans than they are to any other species. I don't think it has much to do with parents and their children looking alike.

Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed
5 to 8 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids.

We are related to monkeys, and it does seem that some people in all races look like and act like they could carry a monkey gene or two!

until eventually approximately seven million years in the past, we shared ordinary ancestry with chimpanzees and bonobos. that's to declare, that we proportion an basic ancestor or 'concestor'. This concestor replaced right into a prehistoric wooded area ape, residing in Africa. Apes had progressed a number of million years earlier from previous international Monkeys. Our nearest residing kin are chimpanzees and bonobos - that are apes, no longer monkeys.

No because we (humans) all belong to the Homo sapien group, and genes and dna make parents and their children (if you are speaking about Homo sapiens).

There are some really backwards, ignorant, unenlightened folks who should be so lucky as to be closely related to monkeys.

Maybe some people look like monkeys, act like monkeys but some look like giraffes, hippos and the list goes on.

Well some of these people might like to admit being related to chimps or apes , indeed might have similar physical characteristics for all I know , but if we were , how come some evolved & some didn't ?

It's a load of hogwash but if some wish to believe it , let them !

Yes, monkeys came from humans.

God did not make trash. God made all humans noble and with the potential for good.

"With Adam's fall, we sinned all." In the past people married animals, and that made crack babies, a species of monkey with a propensity for violence, thievery, arson, and destruction.

Humans are closely related to chimpanzee's, not apes. This is a common mistake. A chimpanze has all the learning abilities and tool using abilities that humans do, not apes. This is what separates us.

This has nothing to do with looks, this is DNA and genetics at work.

No god made all of us and Even if someone says a big meteor or something hit the earth and made us human but who created the meteor and if someone says gases who made the gases and if someone said space who made space God did
