The oldest known human-like ancestors are believed to be species within the genus Sahelanthropus, with Sahelanthropus tchadensis dating back about 7 million years. This species exhibits a mix of ape-like and human-like traits, suggesting it may be one of the earliest members of the human lineage. However, the exact timeline and classification of early hominins continue to be subjects of ongoing research and debate in paleoanthropology.
