There are two meanings of the word "hominid".

One definition is "a member of the family Hominidae". That includes species in the genera Homo, Pan, Gorilla, and Pongo (humans, chimps and bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans).

By the other definition (Homo sapiens, and species more closely related to it than to the genus Pan), the only hominids still alive on Earth are humans.
