Homininae

Homininae is a subfamily of Hominidae that includes humans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and some extinct relatives; it comprises all hominids that arose after the split from orangutans (Ponginae). The Homininae cladogram has three main branches, which lead to gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. There are several extant species of chimpanzees and gorillas, but only one human species remains, although several sub-species of Homo sapiens still existed 30,000 years ago. Organisms in this class are described as hominine or hominines.
