hominid

These included seven hominid species, or "great apes,"** such as humans, gorillas and chimpanzees, and nine hylobatid species, or "lesser apes,"*** such as gibbons.

The team examined fossilized teeth from 51 hominids found across Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Our hominid ancestors were much smaller than we were and were easily preyed upon by big cats and big birds.

"Hominin" is a newer term that describes a subdivision of the larger category known as hominids.

While brown bears don’t eat humans, they still kill about twice as many hominids as the North American black bear, mostly in protection of their cubs.
