Ardipithecus ramidus is considered to be the first hominin because it is believed to have evolved around 4.4 million years ago and was capable of walking upright on two feet. This species is also known for its dental morphology, which indicates a shift towards a more plant-based diet. The other options were all later hominin species, with Australopithecus anamensis being the earliest known species of Australopithecus and Homo habilis being the first to use stone tools.
