Our common ancestors with what species?Carmack said:Evolution of our common ancestors
What did they evolve from?

Oh, OK.Carmack said:With the apes.
Among the Miocene primates were the ancestors of all modern species of apes and humans. By 14 million years ago, the group of apes that included our ancestors were apparently in the process of adapting to life on the edges of the expanding savannas in Southern Europe. They were very likely members of the genus Dryopithecus . Toward the end of the Miocene, less hospitable cooler conditions in the Northern Hemisphere caused many primate species to become extinct while some survived by migrating south into Africa and South Asia. About 9 million years ago, the descendants of the dryopithecines in Africa diverged into two lines--the gorillas and the line that would lead to humans and chimpanzees. Around 6 million years ago, another divergence occurred which separated the chimpanzees from the early hominids (human-like primates) that were our direct ancestors.
