Crypto-hominid

A crypto-hominid refers to any cryptid of the same family as Humans and related great apes, as compared with a crypto-hominoid, which would refer to any cryptid belonging to the broader superfamily Hominoidea. Given the unproven status of any particular cryptid, including the Yeti or Sasquatch, it would be difficult to confirm whether such creatures should be properly classed as crypto-hominid or crypto-hominoid.
