-Diverse groups of organisms evolve from common ancestors
-The mechanism occurs by natural selection.
This is applied to the great apes because most of them have evolved from the same organism, and have adapted over time to their specific environments

The type of evolution that occurs within this taxonomic group would be divergent evolution due.  This can be given because the trait of a tail is only existent in some species, while others have been shown to evolve without having a tail.
Another mechanism would be taking a look at the co-evolution.  Chimpanzees have co-evolved by Troglodytella Abrassarti, which is how the tail has changed.
The graph below shows the speciation between the great apes.  The H represents the human, C chimpanzee, G gorilla, and O orangutan.  This shows how the species evolved and shows the similarity or closeness between them.  The diagram on the left shows how Humans are more closely related to chimpanzees that they are to orangutans.  The graph on the right gives a more in depth look at the origins in speciation.

The slight difference in the chromosomal comparison show the similarity of the genetic material between the great apes.  One example is that Humans are 2N=46 and the remaining Great Apes are 2N=48 relating to these chromosomes.

-There has been slight change over time in the form and evolution of great apes, especially shown among the skull structure
-The jaws have changed for different purposes over the years
-External tails show the closeness of the similar species
-The biochemical evidence shows the proteins are very similar in the taxonomic group

-Found in Forested Areas
-Thick bodies with long arms
-Effective Communication, and is able to interact with surrounding environment
The video below shows how Bonobos and similar species interact similarly to humans in how they communicate and interact with other organisms in their community

Programme website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05237m1 Bonobos,one of our closest relatives, seem to have discovered the secret of happy, long lasting relationships...and laughter definitely helps!

-Jaw bone for breaking down of food
-Phalanges for small tasks

The Great Apes mostly scavenge for food and reproduce by the means of sexual reproduction.
