“A simple review of research activities documents that not the great apes, but the small apes, are the true neglected or forgotten apes.” —Dr. Thomas Geissman
Gibbon Fun Facts

Are they apes or monkeys?
The easiest way to tell is by their tails or lack of tails. Apes do not have tails. Of course there is a more technical explanation. The lesser apes form the family Hylobatidae which is part of the superfamily of apes (Hominoidea). The term ”lesser apes” implies that while gibbons are apes, they did not pursue the same evolutionary line that eventually gave rise to Man, the ”highest” primate of them all.
