In biology,

Family refers to a group of comparatively related variety that are more similar to each other than with the variety of other families.

Example - A cat and a lion belong to the same "cat" family called Felidae because they both possess similar body parts and have retractive claws.

By the way, human beings belong to "Hominidae" Family.
