**Question 11**

Use the phylogenetic tree below to select the correct statement:

**Figure 19.10A: A phylogenetic tree of primates**

The diagram is a phylogenetic tree illustrating the evolutionary relationships of primates. The timeline at the base represents millions of years ago.

Branches of the tree start from an "Ancestral primate" and diverge into various groups:

1. **Lemurs, lorises, and bush babies**
2. **Tarsiers**
3. **New World monkeys**
4. **Old World monkeys**
5. **Gibbons**
6. **Orangutans**
7. **Gorillas**
8. **Chimpanzees**
9. **Humans**

The tree shows that "Anthropoids," which include monkeys and apes, are highlighted. There's a branch indicating "Monkeys" and another showing "Apes," which includes gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans.

**Options:**

- Humans descend from chimpanzees and gorillas
- The most ancestral primate goes back 10 million years ago
- Only monkeys and apes are primates
- Gibbons; orangutans; gorillas; chimpanzees; and humans all share a common ancestor
