The gorilla–human last common ancestor (GHLCA, GLCA, or G/H LCA) is the last species that the tribes Hominini and Gorillini (i.e. the chimpanzee–human last common ancestor on one hand and gorillas on the other) share as a common ancestor. It is estimated to have lived 8 to 10 million years ago (T_GHLCA) during the late Miocene.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

The fossil find of Nakalipithecus nakayamai are closest in age to the GHLCA.^[3]^[4]
