When comparing cercopithecoids to hominoids, cercopithecoids, or Old World monkeys, have a thorax compared to that of a hominoid, or the apes. A helps arboreal cercopithecoids balance when moving through the trees. Hominoids use a form of locomotion called brachiation, therefore, their scapulae are place . There are differences in their dentition as well. Cercopithecoids have a molar pattern, which is different from the pattern seen in hominoids. g
