The common name for the animal belonging to the family Hominidae is the great ape. This family includes humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans. Great apes are distinguished by their large brains, complex social structures, and the ability to use tools. Among them, humans are the only species that possess advanced cognitive abilities, allowing for language, culture, and technology. The study of great apes has provided valuable insights into evolution and our biological connections to other primates.
