First of all you are asking your question in the wrong section. You should have asked your question in the biology section for example instead.
But to answer your question anyway; none. The evolution theory does not state that monkeys gave birth to humans. Please educate yourself.

Biology still fails to show the connection. Only that the DNA is close but not close enough to even suggest that we come from a monkey. Monkeys have always been monkeys and humans have always been humans. There is no way a monkey swinging from a tree gave birth to a human who got a Phd. Pun intended

None.
Monkeys didn't give birth to humans.
Monkeys and humans evolved from a common ancestor.
Lots of peer reviewed biology journals say that.

None whatsoever.
Many will state (correctly) that humans evolved from apes, but this is a process that takes millions of years, it is ludicrous to believe that an ape simply gave birth to a human.
Unfortunately this is a shining example of the kind of ignorance that those who accept evolution have to deal with all the time.
Read a book on the subject, understand it a bit better, then ask a more sensible question.

None.
Unless of course you're willing to accept that, technically speaking, human beings are classified as monkeys (specifically "Old World Monkey" or Cercopithecidae). The same classification that all apes fall under.
In which case monkeys are always giving birth to humans. Because if you classify it, humans are still monkeys. As well as apes.

I dont know the answer
I believe in God.
But Ive just watched a programme recently
showing a monkey smarter than the majority
of humans; In spontaneous memory at least!
Humans are only 'clever' in being fools.

None.Only theists come up with this as a so called argument against evolution although as we are apes,then technically it's not far from the truth

Quite a number actually. I don't know the names of all the 100's of science journals, but I guess you can look for one yourself.
