DNA sequencing Morphological measurement -- can't think of a third, unless it is asking it :-) I guess you could do protein analysis, but that is really superseded by DNA. |

If you already know that it is a monkey, then you already know how it is related to humans because all monkeys share a recent common ancestor with humans and have been evolving for the same period of time since then. |
