Mountain gorillas are descendants of ancestral monkeys and apes found in Africa and Arabia during the start of the Oligocene epoch (34–24 million years ago).
The fossil record provides evidence of the hominoid primates (apes) found in east Africa approximately 22–32 million years ago.
The fossil record of the area where mountain gorillas live is particularly poor and so its evolutionary history is not clear.
