Abstract

Bu değerlendirme, Paleoantropoloji’nin en önemli tartışma konularından biri olan Hominid - Hominin ayrımını, bu farklı kavramların zaman içinde nasıl değiştiğini ve neleri kapsadığını anlatmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Kuyruksuz büyük maymunların sınıflandırılması, hem insanın hem de en yakın primat akrabalarının doğadaki yerini anlayabilmek için önemlidir. Bu sınıflandırmanın taksonomideki ve günlük dildeki terimlerinin neler olduğunun anlaşılabilmesi, ileride meydana gelebilecek kavram karmaşalarının da önüne geçecektir.

The Unbearable Lightness of Paleoanthropology: The Matter of Hominin

Abstract

This review is made to explain one of the most important discussions in Paleoanthropology: the terminological divergence between Hominid and Hominin. It aims to tell how these terms came to differ in time and what they comprise. The classification of apes is crucial to understand the places of humans and their closest relative in the nature. Understanding the taxonomic and vernacular terminology may prevent future complication and confusion.
