Hominids have evolved from hominoids : 1)Hominoids have a smaller brain. Hominids have a bigger brain. 2)Hominoids are quadrupeds , walk on all fours, but with flexible forelimbs. Hominids,by contrast, have an upright posture and biped locomotion ,walk on two feet. 3)There are difference in the hands, which enables the making and use of tools.

Hominoids – all apes. Gibbons, gorillas, chimps, orangs and humans .

Hominids – all modern AND extinct GREAT apes. Gorillas, chimps, orangs and humans, and their immediate ancestors. Not gibbons.

Hominin – Any species of early human that is more closely related to humans than chimpanzees, including modern humans themselves. (At this point, this includes the genuses homo, australopithecus, ardipithecus and paranthropus. These genuses can and do change as various new fossils are found, which either add new genuses, or cast doubt on existing ones. Homo and australopithecus are the two most definite).

Basically, Hominoid is more of a biological reference, while hominids and hominins are more archaeology/anthropology related.

It is important to note that the definitions for hominid and hominin have only been formally accepted fairly recently, so many older textbooks, could refer to early human species as hominids instead of hominins, or vice versa.
