Homininae
sister: Ponginae
Homininae , also called "African hominids" or "African apes", is the subfamily of Hominidae. It includes two tribes, with their extant as well as extinct species: 1 a tribe Hominini with the genus Homo including sophisticated humans as well as numerous extinct species; the subtribe Hominina, comprising at least two extinct genera; in addition to the subtribe Panina, represented only by the genus Pan, which includes chimpanzees and bonobos―and 2 the tribe Gorillini gorillas. Alternatively, the genus Pan is sometimes considered to belong to its own third tribe, Panini. Homininae comprises any hominids that arose after orangutans subfamily Ponginae split from the vintage of great apes. The Homininae cladogram has three leading branches, which lead to gorillas through the tribe Gorillini, and to humans and chimpanzees via the tribe Hominini and subtribes Hominina and Panina see the evolutionary tree below. There are two alive species of Panina chimpanzees and bonobos and two living generation of gorillas, but only one extant human species. Traces of extinct Homo species, including Homo floresiensis realize been found with dates as recent as 40,000 years ago. Organisms in this subfamily are target as hominine or hominines non to be confused with the terms hominins or hominini.
