More recent research than de Waals, and newer theorizing, is outlined in this article, for those of you who may be interested... From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The chimpanzee–human last common ancestor (CHLCA) is the last common ancestor shared by the extant Homo (human) and Pan (chimpanzee and bonobo) genera of Hominini. Estimates of the divergence date vary widely from thirteen to five million years ago. In human genetic studies, the CHLCA is useful as an anchor point for calculating single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rates in human populations where chimpanzees are used as an outgroup, that is, as the extant species most genetically similar to Homo sapiens. Despite extensive research, no direct fossil evidence of the CHLCA has been discovered. Fossil candidates like Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Orrorin tugenensis, and Ardipithecus ramidus have been debated as either being early hominins or close to the CHLCA. However, their classification remains uncertain due to incomplete evidence[...]" M.
