Joanne, Doing this definitely takes a lot of work, but I really enjoy doing it and I am glad that these videos have been helpful to so many people. I appreciate you taking the time to share your positive comments!
I was just thinking that many dinosaurs moved to bipedalism as well, but their "hands" atrophied and eventually disappeared, as such, in the birds. The larger relative size of the brain, perhaps the space that had been used to calculate where they needed to go when using them as legs/feet, perhaps was freed up for the novel mode of manipulating and carrying.
I love it man, not enough people learn this stuff, i know from experience due to being taught creationism as a child. Thanks for putting your knowledge to good use
David, Thank you. It is always good to know all sides of a topic. I am glad that you found this video to be helpful. I appreciate you commenting me about it.
No. Hominoidea are Hominoids (superfamily), Hominidae are Hominids (Family), Hominini are Hominins (tribe) ----------------------------------- Taxonomically we Homo sapiens are: ...alot of stuff starting with Eukaryota (beings with Eukaryotic cells decended from Eukaryotic cells) and then eventually: KINGDOM: Anamalia aka Metazoa (animals) Subkingdom: Eumetazoa (true animals) Clade: Parahoxozoa Clade: Bilateria (bilaterally symmetrical animals) Clade: Nephrozoa Superphylum: Deuterostomia (the anus forms first, the mouth second) Phylum: Chordata Clade: Olfactores (olfactory system) Subphylum: Vertebrata Infraphylum: Gnathostomata (everything with jaws) Clade: Eugnathostomata Superclass: Osteichthyes (bony fish) Clade: Sarcopterygii (lobed fin "fish", this is an important clade) Clade: Rhipidistia (fish with lungs essentially) Clade: Tetrapodamorpha Clade: Eotetropodaformes Clade: Elpistostegalia Clade: Stegocephalia Superclass: Tetrapoda (4 limbs with digits) Clade: Reptiliomorpha Clade: Amniota (amniotic eggs) Clade: Synapsida Clade: Mammaliaformes Class: Mammalia (mammals, we have mammary glands, also "hair") Subclass: Theria Clade: Eutheria Infraclass: Placentalia (placental mammals) Magnorder: Boreoeutheria Superorder: Euarchontagliers Grandorder: Euarchonta Mirorder: Primatamorpha Order: Pan-primates, Order: Primata (primates) Suborder: Haplorhini (dry nose primates) Ifraorder: Semiiformes (all monkeys and apes) Parvorder: Catarrhini (old world monkeys) Superfamily: Hominoidea (old world tailless simians) Family: Hominidae (great apes) Subfamily: Homininae (African Apes) Tribe: Hominini (Chimps, Bonobos and Humans) Genus: Homo (all humans) Species: sapien ---------------------------------------------- In monophyletic taxonomy that uses nested hierarchies, if Platyrrhini are New World Monkeys than Catarrhini has to be defined as Old World Monkey and not Cercopithecoidea alone. Since Cercopithecoidea and Hominoidea are the daughter clades of Catarrhini than both must be defined as "monkeys", meaning that "Apes" are a subgroup of "monkey". Otherwise you are skipping sections of the lineage. You are always of the clades of your ancestors, so apes, including apes of genus Homo are Catarrhini (Old World Monkeys). This is in contrast to the older polyphyletic model of only defining Cercopithecoidea as "Old World Monkeys". In short, Hominoidea are a subgroup of "monkeys" if both their mother clade Catarrhini, and their aunt group Platyrrhini are considered "monkeys". "Apes" are "monkeys".
So Hominins are a sub group of Hominoids with all the anatomical changes, but Hominins are still Hominoids because you are always a modified form of your ancestral clades.

you couldn't have possibly posted this at a better time! :D Thanks
Thanks so much for giving such clear definitions and examples. Very enjoyable and I'm sure this was a lot of work to do. Great job!

Why is our last common ancestor with chimps dated some 12 MYA in your chart? That should be not more than 8MYA

Michael Post no problem i appreciate you making the video. Id never been taught anything about evolution until i was about 18
Thanks for giving this example thanks so much for your help
NICE VID BRO HUMANITY SPIRIT
Gibbons/Siamangs should be on your chart next to orangutans.
this was in my history book in middle school.
Is hominid the same as hominins
No.
Hominoidea are Hominoids (superfamily), Hominidae are Hominids (Family),
