Ardipithecus

Ardipithecus is a genus of extinct hominins that lived in Africa approximately 4.4 million years ago. They are considered to be one of the earliest known hominins and are believed to be closely related to the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees. Ardipithecus fossils have provided important insights into the evolution of bipedalism and other key traits that distinguish humans from other primates.
