Most scientists believe our common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Then two species broke off into separate lineages, one ultimately evolving into gorillas and chimps, the other evolving into early humans called hominids.

∙ 9y agoThe human ancestors who lived about 4 million years ago were the Australopethicines. They are the oldest ancestors we know of two be bipedal. The first members of our genus, Homo habilis, evolved from Australopethicines about 3 to 3.5 million years ago.

Around how many years ago did the first ancestors of homo sapiens appeared on Earth?
For modern homo sapiens - about 200,000 years ago for physical identity to us, mentally modern about 70,000 years ago. Obvious ancestors about 2 million years ago. Non ape ancestors about 5 million years ago, Primates about 60 million years ago. Earliest mammals about 200 million years ago. Etc.
Did millions of years pass between the extinction of dinosaurs and the appearance of the first humans?
Yes. Dinosaurs went extinct 65.5 million years ago. The first human-like primates appeared about 2.5 million years ago. The first Homo sapiens appeared about 200,000 years ago.
Are cavemen 1 billion years old?
No. No multicellular life existed 1 billion years ago. Human-like primates first appeared about 5.6 million years ago and Homo sapiens only appeared about 200,000 years ago.
What is the name of your oldest common ancestor?
We evolved about 500 million years ago from fish that evolved to anphibians then mammals then we evolved to primates
When did Human Evolution start?
Since, as far as we can tell, humans share a common ancestry with all other life on Earth, human evolution started about 3.5 billion years ago. The first animals evolved ca. 800 million years ago. The first vertebrate animals ca. 530 million years ago. The first tetrapod vertebrates ca. 400 million years ago. The first mammalian tetrapods ca. 230 million years ago. The first primate mammals ca. 60 million years ago. The first ape primates ca. 30 million years ago. The first anatomically modern human apes appeared ca. 300.000 years ago.
When did the first primates appear?
Members of the genus Australopithecus lived in Africa from around four to three million years ago. If the robust Australopithecines are included (now also known as Paranthropus) then Australopithecines can be considered to have existed up to around two million years ago. - Australopithecines were any of several extinct humanlike bipedal primates with relatively small brains of the genus Australopithecus that lived from 1 to 4 million years ago.
What is an adapid?
An adapid is a member of the Adapidae family of animals, which comprises extinct primates from the Eocene epoch, around 55-34 million years ago.
What is the name of the earliest humanlike creatures that lived in Africa three to four million years ago?
Australopithecus Afarensis......The first on found from that group is a female named Lucy a paleoanthropologist named Donald Johanson found her.
When did the dinosaurs existed?
