The apes consisting of the African great apes, chimpanzees, bonobos and the Asian great ape, orangutans as well as the small apes, gibbons and siamangs, are humankind’s closest living relatives and allow insight into human behaviour, ecology, and emotion as well as a better understanding of the ecological and demographic forces that shape evolution.
