Odd enough we are distantly related to gorillas. We are both primates. A couple examples of primates are monkeys and chimpanzees(no they aren't the same.) Sarah Heintz

The gorilla is not a human being, although it is a related species. Both humans and gorillas are categorized as primates.
The scientific name for the lowland gorilla is Gorilla gorilla.
yes in fact they are! Gorilla's chimp's and monkeys are our cousins!
There are two species of Gorilla: Gorilla gorilla(Western Gorilla) and Gorilla beringei (Eastern Gorilla). There are four recognized subspecies:Western Lowlands Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli)Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei)Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri)The Bwindi Gorilla has been suggested as a third subspecies of Easter Gorilla. However, it has not yet been assigned a trinomen.
Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla beringei), Bigfoot (Gorilla atrox)
The orangutan is classified as a great ape, and is therefore related to the gorilla and the chimpanzee.
The binomial name of the western gorilla is Gorilla gorilla, but the western lowland gorilla is technically a subspecies of this, and so has a trinomial name (Gorilla gorilla gorilla).
What kind of gorilla? For example, a Western gorilla is Gorilla gorilla. An Eastern gorilla is Gorilla beringei.
