Based on current paleoanthropological evidence, the human ancestral line is believed to have diverged from that of the living great apes between 4-8 million years ago. This is supported by multiple lines of evidence, including fossil findings of hominins (early human ancestors) such as Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and early Homo species, as well as genetic studies comparing the genomes of humans and other great apes.
