  2. Gorillas are great apes and one of our closest living relatives. The Smithsonian Institution’s Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many gorillas in its scientific collections. This specimen, USNM 590946 (http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=10049115), is a female Cross River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) from Cameroon. This individual was collected by J.L.S. Groves in 1998 near Mfakwe Village east of the Takamanda Forest Reserve. This is a CT scan of the cranium of USNM 590946. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.   The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living relatives, the apes, available in 3D for education and research. These slides can be used for educational purposes only. For all other uses, please contact the Human Origins Program at HO-PhotoRequest@si.edu or HumanOrigins@si.edu
