The term hominid is used by modern biologists to refer to humans, as well as the great apes, including gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and their ancestors up to several millions of years ago.
It is also used incorrectly to refer to prehistoric cave men alone. Several dictionaries still use this latter definition.
