Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids.

Do gorillas evolve directly from chimpanzees?
No. In the beginning, these creatures were known as primates. From there they seperated into branches including apes, monkeys, humans. Over time, gorillas and chimp evolved from the apes. Chimp are smaller and live mostly in trees while gorillas have been in existence longer making them more evolved. This makes them closer to a human. They are larger, have a more similar internal structure to humans, and live on the ground. Hope it helped!
