Homininae that comprises humans ("Homo"),chimpanzee s ("Pan"), and theirextinct ancestors. Members of the tribe are called hominins (cf.Hominidae , "hominids "). Thesubtribe Hominina is the "human" branch, including genus "Homo" and its close relatives, but not "Pan".The creation of this taxon is the result of the current idea that the least similar species of a
trichotomy should be separated from the other two. ThroughDNA comparison, scientists believe the "Pan/Homo" divergence was completed between 5.4 to 6.3 million years ago, after an unusual process ofspeciation that ranged over four million years. cite web | url = http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-05/biom-hac051106.php | title = Human and chimp genomes reveal new twist on origin of species | accessdate = 2007-04-12 | data = 2006-05-17 | work = [http://www.eurekalert.org/ EurekAlert!/AAAS] ] It is interesting to note that no fossil species on the "Pan" side of the split have been determined; all of the extinct genera listed in the table to the right are ancestral to "Homo", or are offshoots of such. However, both "Orrorin " and "Sahelanthropus " existed around the time of the split, and so may be ancestral to both humans and chimpanzees."). Only humans and chimpanzees belong to the "Hominini" tribe.]
