Hominids and chimpanzees. No gorillas included.

there are virtually no chimpanzee fossils. Oldest is half a million years.

but are there fossils thoughts to be chimp ancestors? do we know the missing link betwenn vanilla chimpanzees and bonobos?

I don't think we have much. Just some time lines:
Within the Hominoidea (apes) superfamily, the Hominidae family diverged from the Hylobatidae (gibbon) family some 15–20 million years ago; African great apes (subfamily Homininae) diverged from orangutans (Ponginae) about 14 million years ago; the Hominini tribe (humans, Australopithecines and other extinct biped genera, and chimpanzee) parted from the Gorillini tribe (gorillas) between 9 million years ago and 8 million years ago; and, in turn, the subtribes Hominina (humans and biped ancestors) and Panina (chimps) separated about 7.5 million years ago to 5.6 million years ago (WIKI)

And then there's the most recent incipient speciation, as the Homo trumpii separate from remaining normal humans...

Did someone say homo?

actually, I guess that what you call homo trumpii is actually a subspecies of anthropopithecus stultus.
