    • 1850, Robert Southey, Southey's Common-place Book - Volume 3, page 809:
      Mankind at the lowest point where monkey-kind is at its highest.
    • 1882, F.D. Richards (publisher), The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star - Volume 44, page 298:
      There is no instance on record where a baboon ever evolved into a human being, and science in attempting to unearth a "missing link" which it is claimed will connect mankind with monkeykind, is like a blind man hunting through a haystack to find a needle which isn't there.
    • 2005, Stephen J. Dubner, Steven D. Levitt, Monkey Business[1]:
      What he witnessed was probably the first observed exchange of money for sex in the history of monkeykind.
