From Wikipedia:
A hominid is any member of the biological family Hominidae (the "great apes"), including the extinct and extant humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. (This classification has been revised several times in the last few decades. See the Hominidae and history of hominoid taxonomy articles.)

I believe the Stone age man was called Homo hablis (handy man). The enlarged encephalon (brain) could make use of the environment. IE the manipulative thumb,as well as the increased learning + the Stereoscopic vision, + hence the manufacture of crude tools. Eventually the species took over the world ie Homo sapien(wise man).

The term hominid refers to a creature that is developed above an ape, which includes prehuman bipeds up to contemporary humans (us).

Super Goob is right. Hominid (Hominidae in Latin) is the name for the family of creatures that includes humans.

Hominids walk on two feet and have an opposable thumb.
