Genera in Hominid

 A genus of anthropoid apes consisting of orangutans

Pongo Classification

A genus of primates for the largest of apes. The gorilla is one of the closest living relatives to humans.

Gorilla Classification

The genus Homo has never been clearly defined, but includes modern day humans and other extinct species closely related to humans.

Homo- Classification

Some early hominin species have not been definitively assigned to one of the established genera within Hominidae (Pongo, Gorilla, Pan, or Homo). This is often because the fossil evidence for these species—teeth, bone fragments, or other artifacts—is too limited or ambiguous to confidently resolve genus-level classification. Ardipithecus ramidus, Kenyanthropus platyops, and Orrorin tugenensis are examples of hominins whose genus placement remains debated among researchers.
