Evolutionary distances between Great Apes and Human. All recent reports about the possible speciation events times are shown. For each species, the minimal and the maximal dates are denoted on the horizontal time axis. Using the UBCS statistics proportions, we have estimated the time of the following divergence events from the human lineage for all species: Chimpanzee: 4.77-6.52 Mya, Bonobo: 4.35-5.85 Mya, Gorilla: 6.62-9.89 Mya, Orangutan: 12.53-18.42 Mya, Gibbon: 20.68-29.62 Mya. Please note, that each period calculated with the timeframe overlaps the with time frames taken from the literature
