When did anthropoids diverge from hominoids?

Anthropoids, which include monkeys, apes, and humans, are believed to have diverged from hominoids approximately 30 to 40 million years ago during the Eocene epoch. This divergence occurred as early primate lineages evolved distinct traits and adaptations, leading to the separation of the two groups. The exact timing is still subject to ongoing research and debate among paleontologists and geneticists.
