Eastern gorilla
There are two recognised subspecies of eastern gorilla: the mountain gorilla ("Gorilla beringei beringei") of the volcanic slopes of Rwanda, Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo; and Grauer's gorilla or eastern lowland gorilla ("Gorilla beringei graueri") in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Orangutan
Genomic comparisons show that the Tapanuli orangutan separated from the Sumatran orangutan about 3.4 million years ago. The Tapanuli orangutan separated from the Bornean orangutan much later, about 670,000 years ago. The orangutans are the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which also included several other species, such as the three extinct species of the genus "Gigantopithecus", including the largest known primate, "Gigantopithecus blacki". The ancestors of the Ponginae split from the main ape line in Africa 16 to 19 million years ago (Mya) and spread into Asia.
