    Strictly speaking, a hominid is considered as a general term corresponding for Homo, Pan and Gorilla. If this pertains to the genus Homo (class Hominini), then we only have one species left called Homo sapiens (modern humans) which developed from the ancestors called Homo erectus or Neanderthals. However, hominid could also mean the gorillas and chimpanzees belonging to another genus called Pan (class Hominini) and Gorilla (class Gorillini), respectively.
