Cladogram with extinct families

Below is a cladogram with some extinct monkey families.[40][41][42] Generally, extinct non-hominoid simians, including early Catarrhines are discussed as monkeys as well as simians or
anthropoids,[32][33][34] which cladistically means that Hominoidea are monkeys as well, restoring monkeys as a single grouping. It is indicated approximately how many million years ago (Mya)
the clades diverged into newer clades.[43][44][45][46] It is thought the New World monkeys started as a drifted "Old World monkey" group from the old world (probably Africa) to the new world
(South America).[33]
