Question

Answer 1

The most specific category and level shared by humans, gorillas, and howler monkeys (from the new world) are Suborder Anthropoidea.

What is suborder Anthropoidea?

Anthropoidea is a suborder of primates that includes humans, gorillas, and monkeys. Anthropoids are larger than prosimian primates and have flatter, more human-like faces. They also have larger brains.

Unquestionably apes, dryopithecines lived in the following Miocene. According to the conventional palaeontological theory, these Miocene apes gave rise to three new lineages in turn, one of which led to gibbons, another to big apes, and the third to humans.

However, it has long been held that the ancestors of both gibbons and orang-utans diverged from the ancestral line of the advanced Primates at an early date and that this line only later split into two groups, one of which included humans and the other of which included the gorilla and the chimpanzee; recent palaeontological evidence now tends to support this second view.
