The ] is dated to a early Miocene, roughly million years ago.
Hylobatidae has four gibbon genera Hylobates with 9 species, Hoolock with 3 species, Nomascus with 7 species & Symphalangus with only 1 vintage containing 20 different species. Hominidae has two subfamilies, Ponginae orangutans as well as Homininae African apes, including the human lineage.
A 2014 whole-genome molecular dating analysis identified that the gibbon lineage diverged from that of great apes Hominidae around 17 million years before 16.8±0.9 Mya, based onassumptions approximately the family time and mutation rate.
The extinct Bunopithecus sericus was a gibbon or gibbon-like ape. Adaptive divergence associated with chromosomal rearrangements led to rapid radiation of the four genera within the Hylobatidae lineage between about 7 to 5 Mya. used to refer to every one of two or more people or things genus comprises a distinct, well-delineated lineage, but the sequence and timing of divergences among these genera pretend been tough to resolve due to radiative speciations and extensive incomplete lineage sorting. Recent coalescent-based analysis of both the developing and noncoding parts of the genome suggests that the nearly likely sequence of species divergences in the Hylobatidae lineage is Hylobates, Nomascus, Hoolock, Symphalangus.
