The orangutan–human last common ancestor (OHLCA, OLCA, or O/H LCA) is the last species that the subfamilies Homininae and Ponginae (i.e. the gorilla–chimpanzee–human last common ancestor on one hand and orangutans on the other) share as a common ancestor. It is estimated to have lived 11 to 16 million years ago (TOHLCA) during the middle Miocene.
