History of Hominidae

	Revision 18 . . December 18, 2001 2:32 am by Josh Grosse [Except cladistics is far from the only approach that discourages paraphyly, that's why Invertebrata was abandoned]
	Revision 17 . . December 17, 2001 2:36 am by Hagedis [confused?]
	Revision 16 . . October 15, 2001 7:16 pm by Andre Engels [Not everyone agrees that paraphyletic groupings are a bad thing (actually, I am one of those), so NPOV requires to state who would want this change]

Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 19c19

Traditionally the forms outside of the Homininae have been placed in a separate group, the Pongidae. This turns out to be paraphyletic, so from a cladistic point of view should probably either been abandoned or occasionally restricted to Pongo?+Gigantopithecus.
