Homininae is a subfamily of Hominidae, which includes humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees which are native to Africa.[1]
Most importantly, it also includes extinct human relatives such as Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and earlier species of the genus Homo.[2] It includes all those hominid species which arose after the split from the other great apes.
