2025年1月17日 · Hominidae, in zoology, one of the two living families of the ape superfamily Hominoidea, the other being the Hylobatidae (gibbons). Hominidae includes the great apes—that is, the orangutans (genus Pongo), the gorillas (Gorilla), and the chimpanzees and bonobos (Pan)—as well as human beings (Homo).

Hominidae is a taxonomic family of primates that today is commonly considered to include extant (living) and extinct humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. In this taxonomic scheme, Hominidae is one of two families of apes (superfamily Hominoidea), the other family being Hylobatidae (the gibbons). Members of Hominidae (sometimes ...

The Hominidae, whose members are known as great apes or hominids, are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo (the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla); Pan (the chimpanzee and the bonobo); and Homo, of which only modern humans remain.

The Hominidae, also known as great apes or hominids, are a taxonomic family of primates composed of eight extant species divided into four genera: Pongo, Gorilla, Pan, and Homo, of which only modern humans remain.

Ho­minids are the largest pri­mates, with ro­bust bod­ies and well-de­vel­oped fore­arms. Their pollex and hal­lux are op­pos­able ex­cept in hu­mans, who have lost op­pos­abil­ity of the big toe. All dig­its have flat­tened nails. No ho­minid has a tail, and none has is­chial cal­losi­ties.

Chimps, gorillas, humans, and orangutans make up the family Hominidae; gibbons are separated as the closely related Hylobatidae. Thus constituted, the Hominidae includes 4 genera and 5 species. Its nonhuman members are restricted to equatorial Africa, Sumatra and Borneo.

Hominidae, commonly known as the great apes family, includes humans and their closest relatives, such as orangutans, gorillas, and chimpanzees. This family is significant in understanding primate evolution, social behavior, and locomotion adaptations that differentiate humans from other primates.

Hominoidea is a superfamily of primates that includes the great apes, such as chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans. This group is characterized by their large body size, lack of a tail, and other distinct anatomical features that differentiate them from other primates.

Hominidae, commonly known as the great ape family, includes humans and their closest relatives: orangutans, gorillas, bonobos, and chimpanzees. This term is rooted in Latin and plays a significant role in scientific classification, reflecting the …
