From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gorilla–human last common ancestor (GHLCA, GLCA, or G/H LCA) is the last species that the tribes
Hominini and
Gorillini (i.e. the
chimpanzee–human last common ancestor on one hand and
gorillas on the other) share as a
common ancestor. It is estimated to have lived
8 to 10 million years ago (TGHLCA) during the late
Miocene.
