Question

Gorilla and Chimpanzee evolved about 2.5 crore years ago from ape-like animals staying in __________.


​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 2008 geneticists took DNA from Kamilah, a then 30-year-old female western lowland gorillafrom the San Diego Zoo.

Four years later the team published the species' genome, which completes a basic genetic library of the great apes—a branch of primates including people, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gorilla and Chimpanzee evolved about 2.5 crore years ago from ape-like animals staying in Africa.

Explanation:

• 'Gorillas and chimpanzees' developed from ape-like animals that remained in Africa approximately 2.5 million years ago.
• When paired with previously discovered fossils, the new DNA analysis suggests that humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas all descended from a single ancestor some 10 million years ago.
• Then, approximately 6 million years ago, humans and chimpanzees emerged from that lineage, according to the new research.
• It has been estimated that the first hands-using, upright, human-like animals developed roughly two billion years ago.
• Ramapithecus, an ape from East Africa, is the first example we have of a 'human like animal' .
• After that, this ape expanded in size and developed greater intelligence, leading to the evolution of the South African ape some 40 lakh years ago.
