In each of the books, Curious George is identified in the text as a monkey, though in the illustrations he does not correspond exactly to any non-fictional species of monkey (and has more of the characteristics of an ape, especially a chimpanzee, or a gorilla, for example in his lack of a tail - though it should be noted that some species of monkeys, such as the Barbary macaque, have little or no tail).

Since the books call him a monkey, and he has never been visually represented as any actual extant variety of either monkey or ape, I think we're gonna have to go with "monkey."
