    From a very cursory Wikipedia check, hominini includes chimpanzees?

    I might have missed something - you’re saying anthropologists consider all hominins human? Including chimpanzees?

      Hominini is not the same thing as hominin, in short. Hominins are more properly known as the subtribe hominina of the tribe hominini.

      I know, it’s obnoxious. It’s like some of these dudes are just making names up as they go along.
