<Sorry Nick, the Family Hominidae consists of one extant genus with one
extant species. I'd be real interested in knowing the other six....>
Two species of gorilla, *Gorilla*
Three species of chimpanzee, *Pan* (including bonobos)
One species of "human", *Homo*
Hominidae, as currently recognized, includes all these, including
australopithecines, *Ororrin*, etc.. Homininae includes the above, minus
*Ororrin* and sundry others, and Hominini is us and only *Homo*, as well
as perhaps *Kenyanthropus*. Including all species. *Pongo* is an hominoid,
along with *Gigantopithecus* and *Sivapithecus*.

Little steps are often the hardest to take. We are too used to making leaps
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do. We should all
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
