SUBTRIBE: Panina

 

Panina contain chimpanzees, and is a subtribe that distiguishes between panina and hominina, which evolved into human beings.

 

Panina retained their long arms, which gradually shortened in hominina.

 

Panina are much more adept at climbing than hominina.

 

Panina use their back legs as their main tool for locomotion, however they will stabilise their balance by using the knuckles on their hands.

 

Panina's nose is typically flat and their brain is about half the size of modern humans.

 

Male panina have large testicles for enhanced sperm production, to aid them in their keen instinct to mate with many females.

 

Panina are believed to have split from hominina around 6 million years ago.

 

The only known genus within panina is pan.
