The first fossil remains that have been found were dated around 4.4 million years ago. These were the fossils of Ardipithecus Ramidus, which lived 1 million years before the last fossils that were found.
apes and humans are classified as hominids

The major anatomical difference between hominids and the apes is that the foramen magnum of hominids islocated at the bottom of the skull.
Hominids belong to the taxonomic family Hominidae, which includes great apes and humans. This family is part of the order Primates.

Scientists say that hominids diverged into two different creatures over time: Apes and humans
The Hominidae (anglicized Hominids, also known as great apes)
austropitheius
located at the bottom of the skull
The hominid evolutionary line diverged from the line leading to the great apes about 6-7 million years ago during the Miocene epoch. This divergence gave rise to the common ancestor of both hominids and great apes, leading to the evolution of modern humans and apes along separate paths.
