Re: If it looks like a duck.....

The actual names depend, I think, on who is doing the classification, but Hominidae would appear to include the extant apes, as well.

Re: If it looks like a duck.....

I think the exact words and their meanings depend on who is doing the classification.

I agree, that I think I have heard hominid as referring to bipedal apes. I think I have seen hominoid used to refer to the apes in general.
