Talk:Hominidae
Explanation[edit]
- Ponginae - includes living orangutans and the extinct Gigantopithecus and Sivapithecus genera.
- Homininae - includes Homo sapiens and some extinct relatives such as Australopithecus, as well as the gorillas and the chimpanzees.
Comments[edit]
For combining all genera in one family, see Groves (1989). The genera are placed in two subfamilies by Groves (2001c): Ponginae (Pongo alone), and Homininae (Gorilla, Homo, Pan). McKenna and Bell (1997) included Hylobatidae in addition, as a subfamily, and within the Homininae recognized two living tribes, Pongini and Hominini; Goodman et al. (1998) recognized gibbons only as a tribe (Hylobatini), with the other three genera as a separate tribe (Hominini), divided into subtribes Pongina and Hominina; they included Pan in Homo, and Watson et al. (2001) included both Pan and Gorilla in Homo.
Possible inclusion of Anadoluvius turkae[edit]
It seems like there needs to be inclusion of Anadoluvius turkae. This is not my main project by a long shot, so I am wondering if & how it needs to be done.
