Short skirt put into carrier: one from our line? (7)
I believe the answer is:
hominid
'one from our line?' is the definition.
(primate from the same family as humans)
'short skirt put into carrier' is the wordplay.
'short skirt' becomes 'mini' (mini skirt).
'put into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'carrier' becomes 'hod' (I've seen this before).
'mini' placed into 'hod' is 'HOMINID'.
(Other definitions for hominid that I've seen before include "Any extinct ancestor of man" , "Man, including fossil types" , "Old man" , "Man or manlike creature" , "Fossil human" .)
