I do not believe that to be correct Tom. Today we have a common ancestor; 250K generations ago we were indistinguishable from each other, meaning we were each other. IE we were chimps and chimps were us, but of course we were neither chimp nor human. At that time one of us went to the other side of the mountain so to speak according to this video and what most evolutionary scientists believe.
