	Ape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apes are the members of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates, including humans.
		Within the superfamily Hominoidea, gibbons are the outgroup: this means that the rest of the hominoids are more closely related to each other than any of them are to gibbons.
		This led to the placing of the other great apes into the family Hominidae along with humans, by demoting the Pongidae to a subfamily; the Hominidae family now contained the subfamilies Homininae and Ponginae.

	Paleobiology: Reassessing hominoid phylogeny: evaluating congruence in the morphological and temporal data
		Abstract.-The phylogenetic relationships of fossil and extant members of the primate superfamily Hominoidea are reassessed by using both conventional (morphological) cladistic and stratocladistic (incorporating morphological and temporal data) techniques.
		To date no phylogenetic analysis of the Hominoidea has explicitly incorporated temporal data in hypothesis testing, and no quantitative evaluation of the congruence of the morphological and temporal data for the hominoid fossil record has occurred.
		Thirteen fossil and five extant genera of the primate superfamily Hominoidea constituted the ingroup of this analysis.

		The Hominoidea (apes and humans) are the less successful radiation of the catarrhine primates.
		The monophyly of the hylobatids and their basal position whithin the phylogeny of living Hominoidea are well established (Figure 1.1).
		The Hominoidea also differ from their sister group, the Cercopithecoidea, in several synapomorphic specialisations.

		Morphologic and stratigraphic data were compiled from the primary literature for five extant and thirteen fossil taxa at the genus-level for the primate Superfamily Hominoidea.
		The stratigraphic data divides the stratigraphic range of the Hominoidea into fifteen distinct stratigraphic levels.
		These data were used to perform cladistic and stratocladistic analyses in an effort to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the Hominoidea.

		The Hylobatidae consist of gibbons and siamangs, the members of the Pongidae are Chimpanzeess (Pan troglodytes), bonobo (Pan paniscus), gorillas (Gorilla gorilla), orang utans (Pongo pygmaeus) and the humans (homo sapiens sapiens).
		Hylobatidae and Pongidae constitute the superfamily of Hominoidea.
		Simultaneous to the time of split between Hominoidea and old world monkeys the first member of the species homo (homo habilis) appeared.

	A New Origin for Hominoidea? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		A new study may switch Proconsulidae and Aegyptopithecus at the base of Hominoidea, and the origin of hominoids.
		Abstract: "The East African Early Miocene apes, or proconsulids, have often been considered to be among the earliest members of the Hominoidea, as defined by the divergence of the Cercopithecoidea, but this hypothesis is only weakly supported by available fossil evidence.
		The ethmofrontal sinus is one of a few morphological features that may link proconsulids with later hominoids.

	RedOrbit NEWS \| The critical role played by animal source foods in human (Homo) evolution1,2
		Reflecting their close genetic relationship, gut form and nutrient requirements of apes and humans (Hominoidea) are very similar, as is their pattern of digestive kinetics-one predicated on a relatively slow turnover of ingesta.
		Like Carnivora, all extant Hominoidea (apes and humans) seem "stuck" with their ancestral pattern of digestive kinetics, i.e., such patterns appear resistant to evolutionary modification.
		A brief examination of the dietary behavior of extant great apes illustrates the important role meat eating may have played in permitting members of what became the human lineage to overcome the energetic constraints imposed by increasing body size in the hominoid lineage without a concomitant increase in dietary quality.

	SCIENCE AND FAITH: THE HOMINID FOSSIL RECORD
		The Hominoidea can be distinguished from all other primates in lacking a tail and in having a wrist design that allows greater wrist flexibility and greater dexterity of the hands and feet than other primates.
		The Hominoidea is divided into three families, the Hylobatidae (gibbons), the Pongidae (orangutan, gorilla, and chimpanzee), and the Hominidae (man).
		The three families are distinguished from each other by different modes of locomotion and the anatomical structures necessary for that type of locomotion.

		In other words, should you decide to recall the year that orangutans diverged from the rest of Hominoidea, think of it as about eight million years ago assuming that gibbons diverged about 10 million years ago, etc. Such is the nature of our understanding of the deep past.
		The gibbons are the first group that has managed to survive until modern times which branched away from the main trunk of Hominoidea.
		The orangutan and the rest of Hominoidea last shared an ancestor prior to the divergence of gorillas, chimpanzees, and hominids from each other.

		The proposal was based on the experimental observation that the molecular distances among the three genera were about 1/6 of the distance between the Cercopithecoidea (ex.
		Thus the time of the divergence between Cercopithecoidea and Hominoidea 30 MYBP was the all important factor for the proposal of a divergence between Pan and Homo 5 MYBP.
		The palaeontological support for a divergence between Cercopithecoidea and Hominoidea 30 MYBP is inconclusive, however, and does not seem to stand up to scrutiny.

		Taxonomy: While there is general agreement on the inclusion of apes and humans in the superfamily Hominoidea, taxonomist have developed several different versions of how the group is sub-divided.
		Molecular evidence indicates that genetic differences between humans and the African are less substantial than is indicated by gross anatomy and have suggested the following classification, used in the Jolly and White introductory text.
		In this version the superfamily, Hominoidea is divided into two families:

	Re: Please help me with my project on Orangutans
		Superfamily: Hominoidea Family: Pongidae Genus: Pongo Species: Pongo pygmaeus You ask what these terms mean.
		However, their translations into english do not mean much anymore.
		The superfamily Hominoidea means "of the humans" The family Pongidae means "of the apes" The genus Pongo means "ape" (this word is from the Congolese language) The species Pongo pygmaeus would traslate to "ape little man." This translation would suggest that orangutans were human.
