Here is a diagram of a primate evolutionary tree based on DNA comparisons. Humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) are classified as Hominoidae. Other members of this family are the four great apes: chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), bonobo (Pan paniscus), gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), and orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus).

Taxonomic charts of the living primates can be found below. The primates are divided into two major taxonomic groups: strepsirrhines, which retain primitive characteristics, such as the lemurs of Madagascar and the bushbabies of Africa, and the more derived haplorrhines, that is, the tarsier, monkeys, and apes.

Taxonomic charts of the living primates can be found below. The primates are divided into two major taxonomic groups: strepsirrhines, which retain primitive characteristics, such as the lemurs of Madagascar and the bushbabies of Africa, and the more derived haplorrhines, that is, the tarsier, monkeys, and apes.
These seven ranks of the taxonomic hierarchy are known as the obligatory ranks: every animal species is classified into a genus, each genus into a family, and so on up.
