Here are the living primates considered hominoids:
Great Apes:
* Humans (Homo sapiens)
* Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
* Bonobos (Pan paniscus)
* Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla)
* Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus)
Lesser Apes:
* Gibbons (Hylobates spp.)
* Siamangs (Symphalangus syndactylus)
It's important to note that:
* Humans are classified within the hominoid family, specifically within the Hominini tribe. This means we share a common ancestor with all other apes.
* The term "hominoid" is sometimes used interchangeably with "ape", but technically speaking, "hominoid" includes all apes, while "ape" can refer to both great apes and lesser apes.
So, when someone mentions hominoids, they are referring to all apes, including humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, gibbons, and siamangs.
