	Hominoid taxonomies
		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.
		It is important to note that in the older scheme (before about 1980), the Hominoids comprised the gibbons (Hylobatidae), the great apes (Pongidae), and the Hominidae, with the Hominidae (hominids) consisting only of the two genera Homo and Australopithecus.

		Although the hominoid fossil record is far from complete, and the evidence is often fragmentary, there is enough to give a good outline of the evolutionary history of humans.
		The story of the hominoid taxonomy is one of gradual demotion of humans from a special position in the taxonomy to being one branch among many.
		Until about 1960, the hominoids were usually divided into two families: humans and their extinct relatives in Hominidae, the other apes in Pongidae.

	ZetaTalk: Cat People
		Hominoid forms evolve naturally on many worlds, and just as the proto-hominoid on Earth was a hairy ape, the proto-hominoid elsewhere can take many forms.
		Due to the genetic engineering that takes place, grafting genetics from existing hominoid stock, the hominoid visitors that humans have encountered look similar to humans in the main, and thus have given the erroneous impression that this is the hominoid form.
		There are alien hominoids that look like monkeys or apes to humans and a variation on this form is a furry hominoid humans take to be a bipedal cat.

	Hominoidea
		In general, the hominoids are a primate superfamily, the hominid family comprises the great apes within the hominoid superfamily, the hominini are a "tribe" within the hominids characterized by a number of features including bipedalism, and the hominini are further partitioned into the genera Homo and Australopithecus.
		Miocene hominoid fossil postcrania show that few of these taxa share significant similarities with living apes, suggesting that few if any are related to specific extant lineages.
		Given the genetically inferred relationships of hominoids and the morphology of the earliest hominids, the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees was probably chimp-like, a knuckle-walker with small thin-enameled cheek teeth.

	[No title]
		A conservative view is that the hominid ancestor maintained the typical hominoid foraging regime in a Miocene habitat in which food was becoming more and more widely dispersed and required greater terrestrial travel to harvest.
		Bipedalism could easily have been the mode of terrestrial travel for this arboreally adapted hominoid, as it is in all of the modern species of lesser apes, since modern hominoids are equally efficient as bipeds or as quadrupeds at normal speeds.
		The adoption of bipedalism by a Miocene hominoid need not be taken as such an unlikely event, especially given the fact that all lesser apes today are habitual bipeds and bipedalism can easily be adopted by modern chimpanzees in the wild.

	Hominid Chronology
		A hominoid (primate) ancestor common to all living apes and humans lived in the trees of this super-rainforest.
		The very earliest known representatives of the hominoids have been found only in Africa and were very different from living apes and humans.
		This hominoid also lived exclusively in the rainforests of the rift valley, and showed modifications in the teeth and limb bones, making them more like those of the living great apes.

	John Hawks Anthropology Weblog : Relationships among the hominoids :: overview
		Geneticists have estimated of the times that the living hominoid species diverged from each other, based on fossil evidence for earlier branching events among the primates--such as the divergence between the African and Asian apes and the divergence between the hominoids and the Old World monkeys.
		A major goal of further genetic research is to narrow down the possible times of hominid origins within the span from 10 to 7 million years ago, by discovering the evolutionary factors that have influenced human and chimpanzee molecular evolution since that time.
		Comparing such genetic variation to living hominoid species, one hypothesis is that the ancient ancestors of humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas may have belonged to a single species spread across a broad area of the African continent.

	Colarusso, John Notes of Folklore 1983
		In short, their position is this: given the recurrence of hominoid figures in many of the world's folkloric traditions, these bodies of lore should be scrutinized more carefully by a host of experts to extract what, if any, information may lurk therein regarding relict men or man-like creatures.
		This biological plausibility contrasts sharply with the emotive hominoid of Caucasian lore.
		It is more complex, however, in that the traits belonging to a wolf in the real world are fairly well known to everyone, whereas the traits of any putative surviving hominoids must be inferred from those of their near kindred, ourselves (presumably), the great apes, and primates in general.

	Evolution of cranial ontogeny in hominoid primates (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In this research project, the cranial morphology of hominoid primates is investigated from an evolutionary developmental perspective.
		The aim is to analyze the ontogenetic basis of the phyletic diversification of hominoid taxa through the establishment of links between the evolutionary modification of ontogenetic programs and the emergence of taxon-specific morphologies.
		The project capitalizes on earlier SNSF-funded research on computer-assisted reconstruction and morphometry of fossil and extant hominoid primates.

		The commonly known photo of hominoid tracks, that was taken by E.Shipton and M.Ward on a glacier near to Mt. Everest in 1951, is one of the most important data for definition of large Himalayan hominoids feet parameters.
		The feet of hominoids according to the tracks were 35 cm long and 16 cm wide in the heel for the larger creature and 28 by 12 cm for the smaller one.
		The previous track of the first hominoid is mashed by the last one, but one of the fingers of the bottom track is seen.

	Hominoid genes meet on middle ground
		Indeed, as shown by Evan Eichler (Case Western Reserve School of Medicine) and colleagues in the November issue of Genome Research, the hominoid genome has used diverse strategies for self-alteration, including a newly discovered form of gene copying called pericentromeric duplication.
		Indeed, Old World primates, such as the baboon, possess far fewer CAGGG repeats than hominoids, such as the human, indicating the repeats themselves multiplied after the divergence.
		Altogether, these data suggest that CAGGG repeats mediate a recently active form of gene copying, which has pulled a disparate collection of genes to the central regions of hominoid chromosomes and thus created a potential breeding ground for new human genes.
