The gibbon–human last common ancestor (GHLCA, GLCA, or G/H LCA) is the last species that the families Hominidae and Hylobatidae (i.e. the orangutan–gorilla–chimpanzee–human last common ancestor on one hand and gibbons on the other) share as a common ancestor. It is estimated to have lived 15.9 to 17.6 million years ago (TGHLCA) during the early Miocene.[1]
According to Mark Grabowski, lead author of the study that postulated the common ancestor was smaller than previously thought, the species, which has not been identified, was smaller than previously thought. The study reports that the last common ancestor of humans and all living apes was about the size of a gibbon.[2]
