Panina
Panina
Subtribe of mammals
Panina[2] is a subtribe of Hominini comprising all descendants of the human-chimpanzee last common ancestor (LCA) that are not a part of the human lineage; that is, all ancestors of the type genus, Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos).[3][1] The split occurred around 6-8 mya.[4] Fossils from this subtribe are typically rare because they tend to live in environments with poor fossilization. Some of the earliest chimpanzee fossils are 500,000 years of age.[5]
