Humans as well as the large mammals of Africa – chimpanzees (including bonobos or so-called "pygmy chimpanzees") and gorillas – have a shared ancestor that lived about 8 and 6 thousand years ago. Humans probably first evolved in Africa, and a great deal of human evolution has taken place on the continent.
