There are no hard links to our ancestral heritage to primates. Scientists have been looking for years to link homo sapiens with the Missing link in our genetical family tree. No one can prove with hard evidence, but there are striking similarities. You may also try and learn to spell a little better. Read a book to increase you literary skills

No, humans never used to be monkeys. Humans, apes and monkeys have a common ancestor, sometime several millions of years ago, Later, humans and apes had a different common ancestor, a few millions of years ago. Get this clear in your mind.
Also get it clear that apes are not monkeys. The easiest way to tell the difference is that apes do not have long or any tails. Monkeys do. Humans are closely related to bonobos, less closely to chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans. None of these are monkeys.
Look at the "talk origins" site. If anyone tells you that humans and apes were separately created they are mistaken or lying.

humans were never monkeys but we descend from primates (hominids) the same as monkeys. webs sites probably are not the best source of knowledge for this type of thing(to much junk and false info) try the public library or a high school science book.
look for Anthropology or paleontology
and if you have to look on the web look for the study of human origins

humans did not "used to be" monkeys.
Humans and certain apes have a common ancestor. There is plenty of proof, for those who understand genetics. Now that the human genome has been mapped, it is possible to trace where the genetic lines diverged.
For those who can't understand simple logic, or won't accept that the Creator may have left the same signature in all of the creation there will never be enough proof. So suit yourself-

No it isn't true. Humans are descended from apes not monkeys. Monkeys are as different from apes as humans are, if not more. Human DNA is 99.8% identical to a Chimpanzee's. Its that 0.2% that gives us the differences between the two species.

First we need to either sober you up or teach you how to write English.
If I understand the meaning of your question, there was a common ancestor of great apes and man some 6-12 million years ago. Recent genetic theory states that we all have a common female ancestor something like 100,000 years ago, and a common male ancestor something like 40,000 years ago.

Humans and other apes such as chimpanzees are descended from a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago. Read Charles Darwin's book "The Descent of Man."

No, humans does not come from monkeys. The Bible said so, it can be read in Genesis 1:19-31. Man was man the very first hour he was made by God, I don't believe in the Evolution theory, it is a lie and the Bible is true.

well no ask urself did u used 2 be a monkey lol
but they did evolve into humans over a long period and we have the same bone structure also the only 2 living things in the world with five fingers also our dna is only 2% diffrent

No. Monkeys are monkeys. If the theory of evolution is right, we were some sort of "hominid", much like a monkey, but not quit a monkey.
