Gorilla–human_last_common_ancestor
Gorilla–human last common ancestor
Of the tribes [[Hominini]] and [[Gorillini]]
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.[1][2][3][4]
The fossil find of Nakalipithecus nakayamai are closest in age to the GHLCA.[3][4]
