Question: Why are we who we are? Our nose, mouth etc. Is it to do with different monkeys years ago?

Humans have very slowly developed over time. You have the features that you have because they’re the ones that made your ancestors better at surviving than the others. If you go back far enough yes, your ancestors were apes.
It’s your genes that control what you look like. You get half from each parent, which is why you usually have features of both.
Over time, humans have averaged out so we all look roughly the same. In the future people have predicted that we’ll all have a similar skin colour because we travel so much and are much more likely to meet and have children with people of different ethnicities.
