Those great apes that are more closely related to humans than they are to chimpanzees.

The hominins are members of tribe Hominini, which should not be confused with the more inclusive clade known as subfamily Homininae. Alternatively, many include the chimpanzees as well among the hominins.

Included among the hominins are the australopiths and members of genus Homo as well as earlier members such as Ardipithecus ramidus.
