The appearance of the Hominidae Family is still very controversial, which is caused by great diversity and incompleteness of hominoid fossils. This problem refers to both taxonomic and phylogenetic interpretation of paleontological data, and also dating methods. The article widely discusses various attitudes, presented in literature.
