Facts from Wikipedia’s “Homininae” page and Wikispecies (CC BY-SA 4.0).
Homininae is a subfamily of Hominidae, which includes humans, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos which are native to sub-Saharan Africa.
Most importantly, it also includes extinct human relatives such as Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and earlier species of the genus Homo. It includes all those hominid species which arose after the split from the other great apes.
