Proto-Humans split off from proto-chimps about 5 million years ago.

The human species, also called homo sapiens sapiens, evolved slowly over a period of approximately 5-8 million years before the present, starting by separating from a common ancestor between mankind and our closest ape relatives. Modern humans, as we know them today, emerged around 100-500 thousand years before present in Africa (according to the Out of Africa Hypothesis) from a small founding population. They spread out from East Africa around 100 thousand years ago and eventually inhabited the known world.
