Hominidae
|--Ponginae
|  `--Pongo
|     |--pygmaeus
|     `--abelii
`--Homininae
   |--Gorilla
   |  |--gorilla
   |  `--beringei
   `--+--Homo sapiens
      `--Pan
         |--troglodytes
         `--paniscus

Of course, not all authors use such an inclusive _Hominidae_, but, AFAIAA, it
is preferred in cladistic circles.
