The creation of this taxon is the result of the current idea that the least similar species of a trichotomy should be separated from the other two. Through DNA comparison, scientists believe the Pan/Homo divergence was completed between 5.4 to 6.3 million years ago, after an unusual process of speciation that ranged over four million years.[1] It is interesting to note that no fossil species on the Pan side of the split have been determined; all of the extinct genera listed to the right are ancestral to Homo, or are offshoots of such. However, both Orrorin and Sahelanthropus existed around the time of the split, and so may be ancestral to both humans and chimpanzees. A trichotomy is a splitting into three parts, and, apart from its normal literal meaning, can refer to: trichotomy (mathematics), in the mathematical field of order theory trichotomy (philosophy), for the idea that man has a threefold nature In taxonomy, a trichotomy is speciation of three groups from a common...

In the proposal of Mann and Weiss (1996),[2] the tribe Hominini includes Pan as well as Homo as separate subtribes. Homo (and, by inference, all bipedal apes) is by itself only in the subtribe Hominina, while Pan is in the Panina subtribe. Hominina is a subtribe that inludes Homo sapiens, Australopithecus, as well as prehistoric humans. ...

Hominoid taxonomies (353 words)
The terms "hominoid", "hominid", and "hominin" are not interchangeable, but their classification criteria are variously in a state of flux.
In general, the hominoids are a primate superfamily; the hominid family is currently considered to comprise both the great ape lineages and human lineages within the hominoid superfamily; the "homininae" comprise both the human lineages and the African ape lineages within the hominids, and the "hominini" comprising only the human lineages.
The term "hominins" almost always refers to the tribe Hominini, and not to the subfamily Homininae.
MSN Encarta - Human Evolution (552 words)
The separate human line in the hominid family is distinguished by being placed in a tribe, Hominini, whose members can then be called “hominins”—the practice that is followed in this article.
An examination of the fossil record of the hominins reveals several biological and behavioural trends characteristic of the tribe.
This form of locomotion led to a number of skeletal modifications in the neck, lower spinal column, pelvis, and legs.
