I'm not sure the common ancestor is known but I can give you a good idea of our relationships to other simians:
Humans and chimps diverged about 3 to 5 million years ago.
Gorillas about 7mya, orangutans about 14mya and the other apes (gibbons) about18 mya.
Apes and Old World monkeys (African/Asian monkeys) split about 25 million years ago.
New world(the Americas) and Old world monkeys split about 30 or 40 mya.
The common ancestor of mice and men split about 100 million years ago. Squeek!

He is unknown to this day and probably it will stay forever. It is thought to be a chimp-like animal and probably dwelled in a tropical forest. Fossilization is very unlikely in such an environment, as the body decomposes very quickly. It's is the same reason why a chimp or gorilla-fossil has never been found.
It's also very unlikely for a being to get fossilized whatsoever. We sadly only know a very tiny part of the history of our own kind.

Im givin this answer from a mid way perspective from Religous and Non religous. Im from an anglican college so i comprehend the two memories. Apes, guy, birds, wood, canines, and the mold on bread all descend from one user-friendly ancestor. Its the tree of existence in accordance to scientists. I observed a instruct and definitely listened in technology to get this: Water replaced into the development block we mandatory to start existence. Earth had no water. Comets are actually shown to contain water and small development blocks for single celled existence varieties. it rather is thought that the wateron earth got here from those comets as did the development blocks for existence. the the appropriate option temperature on the earth began to evolution of existence on the earth, which skill those buildin blocks grew to become small cells like amoeba micro organism etc. greater then in all hazard in areas the place volcanic interest replaced into occuring, as warmth replaced right into a development block and catalyst. at last those developed into what we are as we talk and each residing organism on the earth. Bee fowl bat tree human in spite of Your question, refers to ape and guy. We the two originate from those development blocks of existence interior the comets. It sounds unilkely yet its technology's appropriate clarification. additionally, there is the 1st human present day in African called Lucy. The keeps to be of the earliest Biped woman human creature element. This seems to be the 1st vast distinction from human and ape.

It's a small mamal that looked like a Lemur. I saw a video called IDinosaurs. Someone did the whole thing by computer
I got it from the library. It's based on scientific fact and it's about 6 hours long.
Try and find it. Its an amazing video, if you're interested in this sort of stuff.
