现在，我们与黑猩猩在系谱图上同享一个一个支脉。人科所包含的范围已经扩展，包括其他的“类人猿”——黑猩猩、大猩猩和红毛猩猩。

尽管这对我们的尊严是个打击，长久以来我们还是认为自己高贵，认为自己足够特别以科学谱系把自己划分为优等物种——人科（the Hominidae）。

Despite this blow to our dignity we long maintained a polite fiction that we're special enough to merit classification in our own scientific family—the Hominidae.
