"It isn't", because...?

Because the evidence doesn't support the conclusion the poster has drawn from it. Humans and apes split earlier than previously thought, therefore humans and apes never shared a common ancestor? That doesn't seem sound logic to me. So that's what I indicated in my post.

I think the other poster was stating that he doesn’t think the evidence points to that, and that this evidence could be used to bolster that argument.
