We human beings are more closely related to apes and monkeys than to any other animals on Earth. But how do they resemble us and how do they differ? Should we treat them differently from other animals because they are so close to us? Join Museum director Sir Neil Chalmers and Dr Christine Caldwell of Paignton Zoo to explore the world of monkeys and apes.
