Answer 2

that's new that Lucy, they found a Homo Erectus dating back 5.4 years ago.

Answer 3

Yes: Omo I (and Omo II) which was found around 130,000 years ago in Herto, Egypt is often considered the oldest anatomically modern human found. Some have classified it in the subspecies of H. sapiens idaltu.

Lucy is from A. afarensis which existed from 3.9-2.9 mya. It is not the oldest hominin, but it is one of the most complete hominin skeletons found. The oldest proposed hominin fossil is from Sahelanthropus. I believe that the actual fossil is a jaw and a shoulder.

Answer 4

The oldest so far are 195,000 years old along the Omo river in Ethiopia.
