Is the Monkey a Monkey?

Ito: The monkey is almost human. We evolved from monkeys, there are closest relatives in the animal kingdom. And so i think that does matter. It's not clear if the monkey has actually ever made himself a present to one of the women he's attracted to. He sort of observes them and then steals their names,. But he seems to have a good sense of decorum in not actually approaching them - it's very sad. You know, you feel bad for the monkey.
