Hominidae (family) (Hominoidea (superfamily), Primates (order), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Family containing four genera with seven living species of humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans that developed in Africa and Eurasia (prior to human expansion) from the Late Pleistocene. There are 25 fossil species of seven genera dating from the Pliocene. Note that this classification has been revised several times in the last few decades and is still in flux: Originally the group was restricted to humans and their extinct relatives, with the other great apes being placed in a separate family, the Pongidae. This earlier classification is still used by many anthropologists and by lay people; biologists reject the earlier classification because according to the earlier classification the group would contain the most recent common ancestor of the members of the group, but it would not contain all the descendants of that ancestor.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 含四個屬、七個現存種的科，包括人類、黑猩猩、侏儒黑猩猩、大猩猩以及紅毛猩猩，其中紅毛猩猩自更新世晚期，在人類擴張之前繁衍於非洲與歐亞大陸；二十五個化石種、七個屬始於上新世。此分類於過去數十年經修改數次，現今仍懸而未定：原本此科僅包括人類與其絕滅的近親，其餘類人猿則歸為另一猩猩科。早期分類仍為許多人類學家與非專業人員採用，但生物學家卻不採納早期分類，因為早期的人科分類雖包含最近共同祖先的成員，卻未包含該祖先的所有後裔。 |
