Hominini
Hominini membentuk suku taksonomi dari subfamili Homininae ("hominin"). Hominini mencakup genera Homo (manusia) dan Pan (simpanse dan bonobo) yang masih ada, dan dalam penggunaan standar tidak termasuk marga Gorilla (gorila).

Istilah ini awalnya diperkenalkan oleh Camille Arambourg (1948). Arambourg menggabungkan kategori Hominina dan Simiina menurut Gray (1825) ke dalam sub-suku barunya.
Traditionally, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans were grouped together as pongids. Since Gray's classification, evidence has accumulated from genetic phylogeny confirming that humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas are more closely related to each other than to the orangutan. The former pongids were reassigned to the subfamily Hominidae ("great apes"), which already included humans,[3] but the details of this reassignment remain contested; within Hominini, not every source excludes gorillas, and not every source includes chimpanzees.
Secara tradisional, simpanse, gorila, dan orang utan dikelompokkan sebagai pongidae. Sejak klasifikasi Gray, bukti-bukti yang terkumpul dari filogeni genetik mengonfirmasi bahwa manusia, simpanse, dan gorila lebih berkerabat dekat satu sama lain dibandingkan dengan orang utan.[3] Mantan anggota pongidae dipindahkan ke subfamili Hominidae ("kera besar"), yang sudah mencakup manusia.
Manusia adalah satu-satunya spesies yang masih ada dalam cabang (sub-suku) Australopithecine, yang juga terdiri dari banyak kerabat dekat manusia yang telah punah.

However, overwhelming genetic evidence has since demonstrated that humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas are much more closely related to each other than to the orangutan ... Thus, there is no genetic support for grouping the great apes together in a distinct group from humans. For this reason, many researchers now place all species of great ape and human within a single family, Hominidae – making them all proper 'hominids'.
