Question

according to this evolutionary tree, when did hominins branch away from the other apes? lemurs, lorises, and others new world monkeys old world monkeys orangutans gorillas chimpanzees humans 12 - 16 mya 5 - 7 mya 7 - 8 mya 35 mya

Explanation:

The evolutionary tree shows the branching points of different primate groups. Hominins (humans) branch away from chimpanzees (the closest - related non - human apes in this context). By looking at the time labels on the tree, the branching point for hominins (humans) from the other apes (chimpanzees) is labeled as 5 - 7 mya.

Answer:

5 - 7 mya
