Well I'll be a Monkey's Uncle

No, really:

Humans' evolutionary split from their closest relatives, chimpanzees, may have been more complicated, taken longer and probably occurred more recently than previously thought, scientists said on Wednesday.
...
The process of separation may have taken about 4 million years and there could have been some inter-breeding before the final break.

Has to do with X chromosome changes, and the estimated age of those changes. Weird!
