What is the common anscestor of the ape and a man?

Question

Is it the same anscestor or what?

Answer 1

It's a small mamal that looked like a Lemur. I saw a video called IDinosaurs. Someone did the whole thing by computer

I got it from the library. It's based on scientific fact and it's about 6 hours long.

Try and find it. Its an amazing video, if you're interested in this sort of stuff.

Answer 2

big foot

Answer 3

He is unknown to this day and probably it will stay forever. It is thought to be a chimp-like animal and probably dwelled in a tropical forest. Fossilization is very unlikely in such an environment, as the body decomposes very quickly. It's is the same reason why a chimp or gorilla-fossil has never been found.

It's also very unlikely for a being to get fossilized whatsoever. We sadly only know a very tiny part of the history of our own kind.

Answer 4

we evolved so we could catch women

Answer 5

I'm not sure the common ancestor is known but I can give you a good idea of our relationships to other simians:

Humans and chimps diverged about 3 to 5 million years ago.

Gorillas about 7mya, orangutans about 14mya and the other apes (gibbons) about18 mya.

Apes and Old World monkeys (African/Asian monkeys) split about 25 million years ago.

New world(the Americas) and Old world monkeys split about 30 or 40 mya.

The common ancestor of mice and men split about 100 million years ago. Squeek!

Answer 6

A bi-pedal type beasty from the Hominidae (Hominoid superfamily) family...perhaps...Ramapithecus or Sivapithecus.
