Final answer:
The statement that humans and apes belong to the same taxonomic superfamily, Hominoidea, is true. Hominoidea includes gibbons, great apes, and humanlike primates, with humans and great apes like chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans sharing a common ancestor.
Step-by-step explanation:
True or False: Humans and apes belong to the same taxonomic superfamily, Hominoidea. The answer to this question is true. The superfamily Hominoidea includes both humans and apes, as well as the lesser apes (gibbons), and it is part of the primate infraorder Simiiformes, specifically within the subcategory Catarrhini. This group contains all the hominoid primates, which consist of gibbons, the great apes, and humanlike primates, including the genus Homo and related fossil forms. Humans, along with other great apes such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, share a common ancestor that falls within this superfamily.
