Hominoid: all apes (man, chimps, gorillas, orangutans, gibbons)
Hominid: all great apes (man, chimps, gorillas, orangutans)
Hominin: all men (and ancestors of men) and in some classifications, chimps and bonobos.
Hominoid - is any member of the super family HOMINOIDEA - all the apes
The super family Hominoidea is divided into two families, the Hylobatidae (the lesser apes: the gibbons) and the HOMINIDAE - The Hominids or "Great Apes". The Great apes include chimps, gorillas, orangutans and men, as well as the extinct ancestors of man.
The Hominids are further divided into the subfamilies: Ponginae (the orangutans) and the Homininae (gorillas, chimps and man). The Homininae are then divided again into the tribe Gorillini (gorillas) and the tribe HOMININI. This is where it gets a little more controversial/confused.
Some scientists then put the chimps into a separate subtribe called the Panini and refer only to humans and all the extinct ancestors to humans like A. afarensis as HOMININS. Others refer to all members of the tribe Homini (including chimps) as Hominins. This is still not completely fixed in the literature. New techniques mean DNA analysis is still ongoing so classifications can change. However, the former seems to becoming more accepted over the latter.
