Human and orangutan, by far! Although orangutans are our most distant relative among the other great apes, the latest common ancestor lived around 12 million years ago. Alligators and crocodiles diverged from each other long before great apes - or any primate at all, for that matter - even existed. The last common ancestor of both lived in the middle Cretaceous, some 80 million years ago.
