Timing the divergence between the gorilla, chimp and human lineages has been the province of molecular phylogeny largely unconstrained by fossil evidence. Gen Suwa et al. now present fossil teeth from Ethiopia which look very similar to those of a modern gorilla, even though they are 10 million years old. If the teeth, assigned to a new species of fossil ape, are from a creature on the gorilla lineage, then the divergence between gorillas and the chimp–human stock must have happened before that time, constraining divergence dates reached through the comparison of contemporary genetic sequences......
