Hominidae

Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia, Order Primates, Family Hominidae

Contains Genera :

Genus Pongo (baboons)

Genus Gigantopithecus - extinct

Genus Pan (chimpanzees)

Genus Gorilla (gorillas)

Subfamily Homininae

Genus Australopithecus - extinct

Genus Homo (humans)

Traditionally the forms outside of the Homininae have been placed in a separate group, the Pongidae. This turns out to be paraphyletic, so should probably either been abandoned or occasionally restricted to Pongo+Gigantopithecus.
