In the taxonomy, Hominina is a subtribe of the tribe Hominini. It includes only the genus Homo, but not earlier upright walking hominins such as australopithecines, Orrorin tugenensis, Ardipithecus, or Sahelanthropus.[1] Members of the subtribe are known as hominans or hominas. This taxon is used only by some scientists.
