Hominini

Tuesday 20 October 2015

(Not to be confused with Hominoidea, Hominidae, Homininae, or Hominina.)

The Hominini is a tribe of the subfamily Homininae; it comprises three subtribes:
- Hominina, with its one genus Homo;
- Australopithecina, comprising several extinct genera (see taxobox);
- Panina, with its one genus Pan, the chimpanzees.

Members of the human clade, that is, the Hominini, including Homo and those species of the australopithecines that arose after the split from the chimpanzees, are called hominins.
