hominites

Hominites is a hypothetical group of beings that are thought to have evolved from hominids, the lineage that includes modern humans and their ancestors. This concept typically appears in speculative fiction or discussions about future evolutionary paths. The term suggests a potential future stage of human development, either through natural evolution or technological augmentation. If hominites were to exist, they might possess traits significantly different from contemporary humans, such as enhanced cognitive abilities, extended lifespans, or different physical forms. The exact characteristics attributed to hominites vary widely depending on the context in which the term is used, often reflecting the author's or speaker's ideas about what constitutes "advanced" or "post-human" existence. It is important to note that "hominites" is not a recognized scientific term and has no basis in current evolutionary biology or paleoanthropology. The idea remains firmly within the realm of speculation.
