Australopithecus afarensis is one of the earliest known bipedal species, but it is not definitively the first one. Other species before Australopithecus afarensis also showed some bipedal characteristics. However, Australopithecus afarensis is a well-known example of an early hominin that exhibited consistent bipedalism.
The Australopithecus afarensis was a bipedal hominid and its brain case was only 500 cubic centimeters (about 1/3 the size of modern human brain cases). The Australopithecus afarensis lived 3.85 to 2.95 million years ago in eastern Africa.
Most scientists believe that birds evolved directly from bipedal, terrestrial dinosaurs.
Having two feet like humans is called being bipedal. Some other animals that are bipedal are ostriches, kangaroos, birds, etc.

Anything which has two feet is bipedal.
There have been many primates that walked upright and were bipedal, the first is generally considered to be Australopithecus afarensis, which lived in Africa More human like versions would be included in the 'homo' genus, such has the neanderthals.
