What was the name of the first homonids?

The first hominids are generally considered to belong to the genus "Sahelanthropus," with "Sahelanthropus tchadensis" being one of the oldest known species, dating back around 7 million years. Other early hominids include "Australopithecus," particularly "Australopithecus afarensis," which lived around 3 to 4 million years ago. These early hominids are key to understanding human evolution and the development of bipedalism.
