You might be reffering to Newtons Laws of Evolution, but then, that is not a process. In fact, there is no process dedicated to proving we have a common ancestor. It is a piecing together of speperate works of research that help us draw this conclusion. The process(es) that are relevant to your query: Mitochondrial Lineage is used to age our last common ancestor. i.e) By estimating the rate at which mutations occur in mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA), the age of the common ancestral mtDNA type can be estimated.Molecular evidence suggests that between 8 and 4 mya (approx 1-2 million years ago), first the gorillas, and then the chimpanzee (genus Pan) split off from the line leading to the humans. And: The Homo genus (Man) diverged from the australopithecines (Our "Common ancestor") about 2 million years ago in Africa. Scientists have estimated that humans branched off from their common ancestor with chimpanzees around then.

Is the base or root of a phylogenetic tree where a population either becomes extinct or is currently living today?
Neither. The leaves of the tree represent descendants; the root or base represents the common ancestor of all organisms in that tree. This says nothing about which have survived and which have become extinct, only which appeared first and which developed from it.
