A gorilla is a hominin and is in the family of hominidae, which includes all great apes, humans, gorillas, chimpanzees and even orangutans and their ancestors.
Modern humans, extinct human species and all of their immediate ancestor are considered hominins, which also includes gorillas, apes, chimpanzees and even orangutans.
Hominins also includes members of the genera Homo, Australopithecus, Ardipithecus and Paranthropus.
The term hominins, specifically refers to the group of primates which includes both humans as well as their bipedal "two legged", ancestors.
The difference between a hominid and a hominin is that hominids encompass all great apes, including humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, along with their ancestors.
And hominins, on the other hand, specifically include modern humans, extinct human species and all of our direct ancestors after the evolutionary split from chimpanzees.
Basically all hominins are hominids, but not all hominids are hominins.
Modern humans also known as Homo sapiens which are us humans did come from hominins and evolved from hominins.
Hominins are a group of primates which includes all of our extinct bipedal, "walking on two legs", ancestors and close relatives and us modern humans who also walk on two legs.
The human family tree is part of the larger hominin lineage, which was branched off from the bonobo and chimpanzee millions of years ago.
Humans are the only hominins left as all the other species of hominins that once existed, like Denisovans and Neanderthals are now all extinct.
Hominins are a group which includes us modern humans and also our extinct close relatives, which are also all bipedal primates.
And for a long time, there were also multiple hominin species, but around 40,000 years ago, us Homo Sapiens became the sole surviving members.
Humans came from hominins as Humans also known as Homo Sapiens evolved from a group of bipedal primates called hominins which are a broader category that also includes modern humans as well as our direct ancestors and other relatives that are extinct.
Us humans are basically the sole surviving species of this group, which has also seen many other species come and go over millions of years.
Human races diverged around 100,000 years to 60,000 years ago and some groups of human races diverged from a common African ancestor.
Genetic studies also indicate that an initial divergence between an ancestral group that led to what are now considered to be Negroid populations and a group which also gave rise to Caucasoid and Mongoloid populations.
The split is estimated to have occurred around 120,000 years ago and later the Caucasoid and Mongoloid groups then also diverged from each other later and perhaps around 60,000 years ago.
And over time the populations then adapted to different environments, and lead to further variations in physical characteristics such as skin color, which are also influenced by factors like vitamin D production and sunlight exposure.
The three types of humans are Homo Sapiens, Paranthropus and Australopithecus.
Us modern humans called Homo Sapiens are the only surviving species of humans of the Homo genus.
Fully evolved human beings are called Homo sapiens which is the scientific name of the species of humans which encompasses all of us modern humans.
All humans also are said to come from Africa as fossil evidence and genetic studies strongly support the "Out of Africa", theory which indicates that our species had first evolved in Africa and then migrated to other parts of the world and eventually replaced other hominin species such as Neanderthals.
Humans are said to also evolved from fish over the years as us humans are actually descended from a group of lobe finned fishes which existed millions of years ago and the fish, which some developed limbs are our distant ancestors and are also related to the modern day lungfish.
All vertebrates, including us humans, also share a common ancestor with fish.
Us humans evolved from a group of lobe finned fishes, also known as Sarcopterygii, which are also distinguished by the structure of their fins.
And a well known example of a fish like creature which exhibited traits transitional between fish and tetrapods, which are 4 limbed animals is Tiktaalik.
It had features such as shoulders, elbows and a neck, which are also found in tetrapods and some lobe finned fishes also developed limbs, which enabled them to move in shallow water and eventually onto land.
Humans also evolved and came into existence by evolving from apelike ancestors and most specifically, the lineage that lead to modern humans called Homo Sapiens which is what we modern humans are.
Homo Sapiens which is what us modern humans are diverged from the line which led to chimpanzees and bonobos about 6 million to 7 million years ago.
The divergence of humans marked the beginning of the hominin evolution, with early members of the hominin line exhibiting traits such as bipedalism, which is walking upright as well as smaller canine teeth.
And over millions of years, the early hominins evolved into various species, including different types of australopithecines and eventually the genus Homo, which also includes the species such as Homo neanderthalensis and Homo erectus and ultimately modern humans which is what we are Homo sapiens.
Us humans are also mammals with canine teeth, opposable thumbs and no tail and we basically evolved from earlier apes, which far enough back also shared a common ancestor.
Humans came into existence through a process of evolving from other species over time and then as a result the first modern human would've been born the same way as us modern humans are also born through being born from intercourse and growing in a woman's womb.
There was actually no first person on earth born from a scientific perspective as humans actually instead evolved gradually over millions of years from earlier hominin ancestors.
The process of humans evolving also involved a series of small changes in populations over time, which lead to the emergence of us modern humans, called Homo Sapiens.
So there is no actual specific birth date or person that can be identified as the first person or human born on earth.
Although according to Judeo Christian and Islamic traditions the first person or human on earth that was said to be born was Adam.
In the creation stories, Adam is created by God and is also the ancestor of all humankind.
Although from an evolutionary perspective, the concept of a single, "first human", is not accurate, as humans have evolved gradually over millions of years.
And various species of early humans, such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus are identified as ancestors of modern humans, although there is not a single person identified as the first human on earth and our species also known as Homo Sapiens.
The oldest known human remains are Jebel Irhoud, Morocco and are remains of Homo sapiens which is our own species and are dated to be around 315,000 years old.
The fossils push back the origins of our species by 100,000 years early than was previously thought.
Also among the oldest known human remains of Homo sapiens are also those found at the Omo-Kibish I archaeological site in south-western Ethiopia, dating to about 233,000 to 196,000 years ago, the Florisbad Skull founded at the Florisbad archaeological and paleontological site in South Africa, dating to about 259,000 years ago.
The oldest known hominin species is Sahelanthropus tchadensis who lived around 7 million to 6 million years ago in West Central Africa "Chad".
