Gorillas and Chimps have now been moved to the homnid family

It's been that way since 1990. In fact, the whole Pongidae family is now Hominidae. It has 2 subfamilies: Ponginae (Orangutans and extinct relatives, like Gigantopithecus; all of Asiatic origen) and Homininae (Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Humans, plus extinct genus like Australopithecus and Paranthropus; all of African origin).

In resumen, Hominid is synonim of great ape, and we should be pround of that, that there are other species that even THINK like us.
