No, it's not the same. It was due to a change in classification.
Before - Hominid meant humans and their fossil ancestors then due to rise in technology they found humans are ALSO related to the great apes.
So now
Hominid means the great apes & humans & fossil ancestors
while Hominin is just humans and fossil ancestors

At least thats what the Excel book said!
