Does anyone have any references for the idea that apes as a group are
paraphyletic, with some closer to humans than others? Specifically
something along the lines of:
((gibbons, siamangs), (orangutans, (gorillas, chimps, humans)))

I need some refs for an assignment.

And for my own curiosity: How would this idea affect the names of
supergeneric taxa among Hominoidea?

Thanks-
