Final answer:
The orangutan belongs to the family Hominidae, part of the Hominoidea superfamily, which includes chimpanzees, gorillas, and humans.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Asian derived subfamily of Hominidae to which the orangutan belongs is part of the biological family Hominidae, which includes chimpanzees, gorillas, humans, and orangutans. Within the Hominidae family, there are four living genera with orangutans being the only great apes native to Asia. The great apes, along with humans, are part of the superfamily Hominoidea, which falls under the primate infraorder Simiiformes, subcategory Catarrhini. All members of the family Hominidae, including orangutans, have homologous structures that suggest a common ancestor, and they show various degrees of ability to develop language and culture.
