How long ago did the hominid evolutionary line diverge from that leading to the great apes?

The hominid evolutionary line diverged from the line leading to the great apes about 6-7 million years ago during the Miocene epoch. This divergence gave rise to the common ancestor of both hominids and great apes, leading to the evolution of modern humans and apes along separate paths.


Who were the hominids that were the first hunters?

One of the earliest hominids to engage in hunting activities were Homo erectus, who used tools and cooperation to hunt for animals. They lived around 1.9 million to 70,000 years ago and are believed to have been the first hominids to master the skill of hunting for food.


What is a ape person called?

AnswerThe idea of an "ape person" is a scientific nonsense (unless we are talking about Tarzan). Perhaps the question is about the scientific names given to some of our more primitive ancestors, who shared some obvious features with primitive apes.Australopithecus was an early genus, with three known species - Australopithecus boisei, Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus africanus.Perhaps the oldest, and therefore most ape-like species in our ancestry is Sahelanthropus tchadensis, who lived up to seven million years ago.


Did man and ape have a common ancestor?

An 'ape' is any primate belonging to the superfamily Hominoidea, and this includes humans, so we 'are' apes, along with gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. All these species though have a common ancestor.
