Homo sapiens
The first species believed to have walked upright on two legs is Australopithecus afarensis, with the most famous example being the fossil "Lucy" discovered in Ethiopia. This early hominin species lived approximately 3.9-2.9 million years ago.
Ardipithecus ramidus, dating back around 4.4 million years ago, is believed to be one of the first hominids to walk upright. This species shows evidence of both tree-climbing adaptations and bipedal characteristics, marking an important transition in hominid evolution.
Yes, Homo habilis is believed to have been capable of walking on two legs or bipedalism. This species is considered a transitional form between earlier apelike ancestors and later species of the genus Homo.
The group of early humans who migrated from Africa one million years ago are known as Homo erectus. They were the first group of hominins to have an upright, bipedal posture, which distinguished them from their ancestors. Homo erectus is believed to have been one of the first hominin species to spread beyond Africa into Eurasia.

Homo erectus
The ancestors of dinosaurs walked upright before they evolved into true dinosaurs. The earliest known dinosaur, Eoraptor, walked with upright legs underneath its body.
Australopithecus afarensis, specifically the famous fossil specimen known as "Lucy," is believed to be one of the earliest hominids that walked upright. With a unique combination of ape-like and human-like characteristics, Lucy provides important insights into the evolution of bipedalism in our early ancestors.
Australopithecus africanus
Yes, Homo habilis is believed to have been capable of walking on two legs or bipedalism. This species is considered a transitional form between earlier apelike ancestors and later species of the genus Homo.

Homo erectus is an extinct species of archaic humans that lived between approximately 2 million and 140,000 years ago. They are considered to be the first human ancestor to have modern human-like body proportions and abilities to control fire. Homo erectus is believed to have originated in Africa and spread to other parts of the world.
Arthropods first walked on land, though it would be hard to tell which genus, let alone species was first.
