According to the theory of evolution, more complex animals develop over time from simpler ones. This would indicate that humans and gorillas, who share many traits, had a common ancestor which was neither a human nor a gorilla, but a simpler form of both. This ancestor would have lived millions of years ago, because the process of evolutionary improvement within a species is a very slow one. Many new species could not compete, or otherwise died off.
