Hominin vs Hominan

I came across this discussion on the english.wiki talk page to Human evolution:

"The articles on Human evolution are using a confusing nomenclature - especially in the adoption of the term "hominan" for the bipedal members of the human lineage. These usage is increasingly rare, I don't think I have ever seen it in generalist literature. Recent textbooks tend to use "hominin" to refer to habitually bipedal primates of the human lineage since the split from the Pan lineage. Scholarly articles often use Hominid for the anatomical grouping of biped primates and hominin only for the clade. I think the logical choice for us is hominin for the human lineage from Sahelanthropus (as long as it is considered bipedal). I don't think it is reasonable to adopt the Mann & Weiss usage and include Pan in hominini - that is not the most commonly used classification scheme by a long shot. In any case we should not just adopt one and ignore the other classifications, but give a thoroguh explanation of the differences in classifications and the evidence and reasoning they rest on.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 16:36, 10 July 2012 (UTC)".

I think this is about right, so I'm going to adjust pages on this wiki accordingly. This note just in case someone wonders... Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:32, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

x-refs?

I think we should link to Homo luzonensis etc., maybe in a 'see also' section. Kdammers (talk) 10:50, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
