Yes.Humans are direct ancestors of homonids.In fact the first humans appeared at 30,000 BC.That is just at the end of the Ice Age.Well,Neanderthals were the ones who appered in 30,000 BC.I think the first actual Homo Sapiens [Humans] appered 14 million years ago.But did you know that Homo Habillis [24 million years ago to 19 million years ago]Were the first species to use tools as rocks,wooden knives,Pots,.Another species[19 million years ago to 17 million years ago] was the first to ever make and discover fire.There is a lot of neat things about evolution and prehistoric times.Now,these facts that you just read are not ACTUALLY RIGHT.They are just the little basics of human evolution.
Scientists say that hominids diverged into two different creatures over time: Apes and humans
Humans and their human-like ancestors are called hominins. This includes species such as Homo sapiens (modern humans) and other related species that have characteristics similar to humans.
Hominid - the group consisting of all modern and extinct Great Apes (that is, modern humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans plus all their immediate ancestors).Hominin - the group consisting of modern humans, extinct human species and all our immediate ancestors (including members of the genera Homo, Australopithecus, Paranthropus and Ardipithecus).
Prehistory refers to the period before written records, during which early human ancestors and hominids evolved. Hominids are a family of primates that includes modern humans, their ancestors, and relatives, such as chimpanzees and gorillas. The study of prehistory focuses on understanding the evolution, behavior, and culture of these hominids through archaeological and fossil evidence. Thus, hominids are integral to the narrative of prehistory, as they represent the biological lineage from which modern humans emerged.

What is your favourite hominid?You spelled "favorite" wrong...
Modern humans belong to the group of hominids known as Homo sapiens.
There are no hominids that are identical to modern humans except modern humans ourselves. To be classified as a different species or sub species they have to be different. There are hominids that were very similar to modern humans. Neanderthals for example would not look completely out of place at a party. Even ancient hominids share many characteristics with modern humans. Upright walking stance and intelligent think all be it less than modern humans are common amongst many of our ancestors. Yea... So the answer is Cro-Magnon... noob...
The first hominids appeared during the Miocene epoch, between 23 to 5 million years ago. This period marked the emergence of early hominids such as Ardipithecus and Australopithecus, ancestors of modern humans.
Australopithicans Homo habilis homo erectus
Australopithecus afarensis is not a direct ancestor of modern humans but is an ancestral species that lived around 3-4 million years ago. It is believed to be closely related to the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees. Other hominid species such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus are considered more direct ancestors to modern humans.
