Do humans and apes belong to the same family?

Humans and apes do not belong to the same family, but they are part of the same biological superfamily called Hominoidea. Within this superfamily, humans (Homo sapiens) belong to the family Hominidae, while the great apes—such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans—also belong to the Hominidae family. This indicates that humans and apes share a common ancestor and are closely related on the evolutionary tree.
