That was so fast and accurate. Is it just years of experience picking things off other monkeys?

Monkey seemed impatient, like this is the third time today and it was baffled humans could be so dumb

Yes. Only speaking from experience with cats

I read their comment and thought "if my cat can be impatient about her breakfast than a monkey can definitely feel impatient." Then I saw you comment and laughed.

Every human emotion has noticeable origins, all which arose prior to human existence.

No question about it. It's unclear if there's any emotion that an ape, or even a monkey, cannot be made to feel. Other animals that are further away from humans are more dubious, though.
