Еволюционото дърво на човкоподобните маймуни е всеизвестно.
Най-далечни са орангутаните, след това са се разклонили горилите, а човека и шимпанзето се слагат даже на една клонка. Това се потвърждава и от поседните ДНК тестове.

Investigation showed orangutans to be the outgroup, but comparing humans to all three other hominid genera showed that African apes (chimpanzees and gorillas) and humans are more closely related to each other than any of them are to orangutans. This led to the placing of the African apes in the subfamily Homininae, forming another three-way split.
To try to resolve the hominine trichotomy, some authors proposed the division of the subfamily Homininae into the tribes Gorillini (African apes) and Hominini (humans).
However, DNA comparisons provide convincing evidence that within the subfamily Homininae, gorillas are the outgroup. This suggests that chimpanzees should be in Hominini along with humans.
