Answer 2

Any member of the great apes.

Answer 3

These are probably what you are seeking. Starting with earliest dating of fossil info to the latest.

Sahelanthropus tchadensis

Orrorin tugenensis

Ardipithecus ramidus

Australopithecus anamensis

Australopithecus afarensis

Kenyanthropus platyops

Australopithecus africanus

Australopithecus garhi

Australopithecus aethiopicus

Australopithecus robustus

Australopithecus boisei

Homo habilis

Homo georgicus

Homo erectus

Homo ergaster

Homo antecessor

Homo heidelbergensis

Homo neanderthalensis

Homo floresiensis

Homo sapiens sapiens

The term hominid keeps changing & currently takes in all the Great Ape line... but some of us older people still think "bipedal" when the term is used.

I should mention that Homo erectus continued to evolve to the point where it became very difficult to tell if a fossil was late erectus or early sapien (ergaster, antecessor, & heidlebergensis are considered Homo erectus by many). Some fossil information is still under debate as to which of the 2 species it belongs.  Homo hablis coexisted with Homo erectus in Africa for ~400,000 years, causing further debate on the evolution of Homo erectus.  Some suspect erectus & hablis continued to interbreed for a prolonged period of time & that even sapien, neanderthal & erectus continued to interbreed for some period of time. Thus leading to some introgression of genes in both Asia & Europe.

Answer 4

Homo Sapian.  Neanderthal.  Homo Erectus.  Homo Habalus.
