Hominidae is the biological family of the "great apes." The classification is at the high level of a biological "family," compassing many different genii and species.
Evolutionary scientists place humans and gorillas both in the classification hominidae, asserting that they are related across an allegedly vast time scale rejected by the Biblical account of Creation. Creation scientists reject this classification for its evolutionary bias. Baraminology is an alternate method of biological classification urged by creation scientists.
