Humans evolved from monkeys

[Old Baby]

I'm still learning about the evolution stuff, but there's some dude on twitter hammering me over the statement that humans did not evolve from monkeys. 

His argument is that humans DID evolve from monkeys and he cites this as his source:

So, is this guy actually right? 

I know extant monkeys share a common ancestor with humans, but what about extinct monkeys? 

Thanks.
