i need help with the terms hominin and hominid...

i have being reading too many pre -2002 books they don't have hominin
so it has majorly confused me

some questions is

what does hominid describe now?...

and is the term hominin used now instead of hominid (to describe humans and archiac humans)?

also the dot point -- discuss the use of the terms hominin and hominid in terms of the arbitrary nature of classification systems

what does the term arbitrary mean in this context
