First human hominid ancestor of humans not African, German research team claim

Graecopithecus is a genus separate from the genus Homo, and its members are thus not humans - but rather only Hominids (i.e., members of the Family Hominidae, which includes the genera Homo, Pan, etc.).

Regards,

Taxonomy remains tenuous at best. Remember when panda bears were being classified in the Procyonidae family rather than Ursidae?
