Hominine

The Homininae comprise all hominids that arose after the subfamily Ponginae (orangutans) split from the line of the great apes. The Homininae cladogram has three main branches leading to gorillas (via the tribe Gorillini), to humans, and to chimpanzees (via the tribe Hominini and subtribes Hominina and Panina, see graphic "Evolutionary tree" below). There are two living species each of Panina, chimpanzees and bonobos, and two living and one extinct species of gorillas. Traces of extinct Homo species, including Homo floresiensis, have been found with dates as recent as 40,000 years ago. Individual members of this subfamily are called hominine or hominines — not to be confused with the terms hominins or Hominini.
