Facts about the family Hylobatidae, the gibbons and lesser apes
Hominids, Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Orangutans, and "Lesser Apes" are all Hominoids.
A classification and species list of the Hylobatidae is shown in Table 2.
Activity and duet behavior in captive gibbons (a species of lesser apes) is stimulated when they hear an audio tape of a pair of gibbons vocalizing their territorial duet.
Evidence indicates that at least some ape hybridization (lesser apes) is indeed possible (Myers & Shafer, 1979; and Wolkin & Myers, 1980).
Gibbons are rare
Gibbons is chairman of the House Intelligence and Counterterrorism subcommittee and sits on the Armed Services and Select Intelligence committees.
However, the flow karyotype of the white-cheeked gibbon (Hylobates concolor) (Figure 1c), which is one of the lesser apes, is quite different from the human and orangutan due to at least 31 different reciprocal translocations that have occurred during evolution from their common ancestor some 10 million years ago.
It is at this time that Hylobatidae is believed to have evolved from their ancestor the cattarrhines (old world anthropoids), as did the Pongidae (the great apes) that would eventually give rise to the Hominidae, Homo sapiens (Jablonski et al.
Reid says Gibbons is strongest GOP challenger
the genera) of the Hylobatidae is shown in Figure 4; distribution maps of the species of the concolor group (genus Nomascus) and of the lar group (genus Hylobates) are shown in Figures 5 and 6, respectively.
