Primate divergence times

This illustrative chronogram places selected primates on a time-oriented tree. Human and chimpanzee form the highlighted Hominini branch, while gorilla and orangutan complete the highlighted great-ape group. Macaque and baboon provide a more distant comparison branch. The branch labels and scale help readers distinguish a chronogram from a topology-only cladogram.

FAQ

Domande frequenti

What makes this a chronogram?

Its branch lengths are presented on a time scale, rather than only showing the order of branching.

Why include macaque and baboon?

They provide a more distant comparison branch for the selected apes.

Are the dates a research result?

This is an illustrative example. A research tree should identify the data and method used for its dates.
