Location of human evolution section

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello,

Is it appropriate for human evolution to be a subheading under the old-world monkeys heading? I think that it would make more sense to include a section for hominids, as it seems inappropriate to refer to apes as monkeys. Additionally, I believe that it may be better to have a section dedicated to hominin evolution, as opposed to specifically that of humans. However, I know that there are other pages detailing these processes. I'm not sure what decision-making went into the classification of these headings.
