Hylobatidae (family) (Hominoidea (superfamily), Primates (order), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Family containing four genera and 14 species of arboreal apes, plus one fossil species of a different genus dating from the Pleistocene. Their major distinction from other apes are their long arms which they use to brachiate through the trees. The great ape family was previously referred to as Pongidae, and humans (and fossil hominids) were omitted from it, but on grounds of relatedness chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans are now classified with humans, because they are all more closely related to one another than any of them are to the gibbons, who are now classified in this separate family.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 含四個屬與十四個品種，以及歸於另一屬、始於更新世的化石種的樹棲人猿。與其他人猿的主要差別為，牠們可在樹枝間吊來盪去的長手臂。類人猿科從前被稱為猩猩科，且不包括人類（以及人科動物化石），但出於彼此的親緣關係較長臂猿更接近，現在黑猩猩、大猩猩、人類與紅毛猩猩與人類被歸為同一科，長臂猿現在則被歸為另一個科。 |
