Etymology

The term 'gorilla' originates from the Greek word 'gorillai,' which was used to describe a tribe of hairy women reported by the Greek explorer Hanno the Navigator in the 5th century BC. The explorer's account described his encounters along the West African coast, where he claimed to have seen wild hairy creatures. The word evolved through various languages before being adopted in modern English to specifically refer to the species within the family Hominidae. Gorillas have been a subject of fascination in both human culture and scientific study due to their close genetic relation to humans and their complex social behaviors. The understanding of gorillas has significantly deepened since the initial contact, leading to important conservation efforts to protect them in the face of poaching and habitat destruction.
