Today the
human
family tree is
considerably
more complex
(high speciocity; a
“bushy” tree; lots of
species go extinct)

..Life’s not so easy..
Eight genera... and
twenty-three species!!

Hominoids: Apes & Humans
pongids

hominids

Pongo Pan Gorilla Homo
Traditional view of
hominoid systematics
(morphology-based)
Also, changing taxonomy at higher
levels

Molecular genetics and taxonomy

Current consensus of the phylogenetic
relationships and splitting
times within the
great ape clade

Hominoids: Apes & Humans
pongids (Pongidae) hominids (Hominidae)
Pongo Pan Gorilla Homo
The rules of cladistic systematics
therefore require that the African apes
be grouped with humans as members
of the human family: Hominidae
