Most scientists who carefully examine the evidence agree with the following general outline:  There was a branching of our evolutionary family tree (with apes evolving in one way, and our ancestors in another way) about 8 million years ago;  during the next 2 million years the distance between these branches increased, as their differing sets of genes (and the associated physical & mental characteristics) continued to diverge;  in our branch of the tree about 6 million years ago, humans and chimpanzees still had the same common ancestor;  then humans and chimps evolved in different directions, with humans developing bipedalism (walking on two feet instead of four), plus opposable thumbs, larger brains, speech capabilities, and other distinctly human characteristics.
