In the site where you pulled your diagram, Dr. Kimball states VERY clearly! "Over the next 1.5 million years (after the split from chimpanzees), 3 independent hominin lines evolved and seem to have lived side by side. These were: Australopithecus africanus a sturdier cousin named Australopithecus robustus, and Homo habilis." This was YOUR source. So you need to decide if these groups SPLIT from an ape as Kimball says, or if they did NOT split because Kimball intended to type: "after the NOT SPLIT from chimpanzees"! Split or not split, split or not split, split or not split...TAKE YOUR CHOICE!!! Yes...take your choice! And how did you miss the gibbons near the beginning of early primates?? Do you see a line swinging past them (perhaps through a dandelion or a worm) linking humans to lemurs and other earliest primates?? You think we came through the squirrels and dashed around the gibbons, chimps, and other apes with nuts in our mouths????? Maybe you did... anthro.palomar.edu
