At the species level Hylobates pileatus diverged from Hylobates lar and Hylobates agilis at 3.9 Mya; and Hylobates lar and Hylobates agilis separated at 3.3 Mya



Gibbons Many are hard to identify based on fur coloration and are Identified either by song or genetics These morphological ambiguities have led to hybrids in zoos. Interspecific hybrids, hybrids within a genus, also occur in wild-Gibbons where the ranges overlap. The sinologist Robert Van Gulik That Gibbons were the resource persons concluded widespread in Central and Southern China until at least the Song Dynasty, and furthermore, based on an analysis of references to Primates in Chinese literature and Their portrayal in Chinese paintings, that the Chinese word yuan (猿) Referred specifically to Gibbons until They were the resource persons extirpated throughout most of the country due to habitat destruction (circa 14th century).
