“Re “A hominin is a member of the tribe Hominini,…””
“A hominin is a member of the tribe Hominini, a hominine is a member of the subfamily Homininae, a hominid is a member of the family Hominidae, and a hominoid is a member of the superfamily Hominoidea.”
“The fossils - including the most complete hand known in an early hominin, which is missing only a few bones and belonged to the mature female specimen - showed its hand was capable of the strong grasping needed for tree-climbing, but that it also had a long thumb and short fingers.”
“The extinct "hominin" (human-like creature) lived in Central Asia between 48,000 and 30,000 years ago.”
“The discoverers of the 4. 4-million - year-old fossil proposed that she was a new kind of hominin, the family that includes humans and our ancestors but not the ancestors of other living apes.”

“He theorizes that it was Homo ergaster, an early hominin that lived 1.8 million years ago, that initially invented Hmmmmm.”
