Wiki has humans and chimpanzees/bonobos in different subtribes, so humans wouldn't be under "Chimpanzees ->":

  Tribe Hominini
   Subtribe Panina
    Genus Pan
     Chimpanzee (common chimpanzee), Pan troglodytes
      Central chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes troglodytes
      Western chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes verus
      Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes ellioti
      Eastern chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii
     Bonobo (pygmy chimpanzee), Pan paniscus
   Subtribe Hominina
    Genus Homo
     Human, Homo sapiens
      Anatomically modern human, Homo sapiens sapiens

Yeah, it's not the mainstream classification but it's been proposed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Chimpanzee) and I find it entertaining. So. ;)

I particularly like Pans Narrans as a classification.

Though I suspect that Pans Superbia might be unfortunately closer to the mark.
