Traditionally, the English-language vernacular name "apes" does not include humans, but phylogenetically, humans form part of the family Hominidae within Hominoidea. Thus, there are at least three common, or traditional, uses of the term "ape": non-specialists may not distinguish between "monkeys" and "apes", that is, they may use the two terms ...
The Hominini form a taxonomic tribe of the subfamily Homininae ("hominines"). Hominini includes the extant genera Homo and Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos) and in standard usage excludes the genus Gorilla (gorillas). The term was originally introduced by Camille Arambourg (1948).
Human evolution. The hominoids are descendants of a common ancestor. Human evolution is the evolutionary process within the history of primates that led to the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of the hominid family that includes all the great apes. [1]
Homininae comprises all hominids that arose after orangutans (subfamily Ponginae) split from the line of great apes. The Homininae cladogram has three main branches, which lead to gorillas (via the tribe Gorillini) and to humans and chimpanzees (via the tribe Hominini and subtribes Hominina and Panina―see the evolutionary tree below).
The hominids are members of the biological family Hominidae (the great apes). This family includes humans , chimpanzees , gorillas and orangutans . [2] " Great ape" is a common name rather than a taxonomic label, and people use it in different ways.
