Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are now allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will continue to be removed and our normal comment rules still apply to other comments.

Well TIL. I was going g to tease you for the misspelling of "hominids" and discovered a new word and a classification I was unaware of. Good read.

Yeah, it's a family vs. a tribe or subfamily. There's a lot of words like that, e.g., Tyrannosauroids vs. Tyrannosaurids vs. Tyrannosaurines, or Crocodylians vs. Crocodylids vs. Crocodylines.

Scientists need to get a little more creative with their names methinks.

What's the difference between hominid and hominins?

It has been foretold that one should, check oneself before one wrecks oneself. And you have acted thus and wisely. So many have lost everything in comment forms like this one by not googling things first as you have done.
