Meet Toumai…
Toumai (means "hope of life") is the oldest hominid acquired. In 2001, Ahounta Djimdoumalbay found a hominid skeleton while digging in Chad in 2001. The skull dates back 6-7 million years ago.
We know this is a hominid because of the skull's eye level - the eye level of Toumai looks straight which is the epitome of ours. The eye level of a primate is angled down, and that's how it sees when walking on all fours.
