So what's it going to be? Faulty dating methods, it's conspiracy, it's all made up, it's not in the bible, there are no fossils, or why aren't there still monkeys.?
Like it or not, these are most of the current classifications of hominids to date.
mya = millions of yrs ago
Sahelanthropus tchadensis [ 7-6 mya, oldest known hominid]
Orrorin tugenensis [6 mya, some bipedality]
Ardipithecus ramidus [5.8-4.4 mya, some bipedality]
Australopithecus anamensis [4.2-3.9 mya, bipedal, primitive skull/advanced body features]
Australopithecus afarensis [3.9-3 mya, bipedal, human characteristics]
Kenyanthropus platyops [3.5 mya]
Australopithecus africanus [3-2 mya, bipedal, human characteristics]
Australopithecus garhi
Australopithecus aethiopicus [2.6-2.3 mya]
Australopithecus robustus [2.5-1.5 mya, digging tools]
Australopithecus boisei [2.1-1.1 mya, unlikely ancestor]
Homo habilis [2.4-1.5 mya, human shaped brain, Broca's area implies rudimentary speach]
