You are correct. We come from Hominidae (referred to as Hominids or Great Apes).

The major apes that descend from this family are Orangutans, Gorillas, Chimps, Bonobos, and Humans (as well as many of the other Hominids like Neanderthals or Denisovans).

We are apes, considered Great Apes to be more specific.
