The oldest living genera of apes are the gibbons. We might never know what the first "ape" species is, because the distinction between apes and Old World monkeys is subjective and could change with new fossils.

As far as I know, apes don't have the mental capacity to write journals or biographies and such. Hence, we just have to accept that whoever the first ape was, he didn't leave any auto-biographies or even letters that we could use to trace his identity.
This is one of the things that we can never know. And it's scary.

Grog of the Cave Bear Clan was dubbed "first ape" by the wholly mammals of his tribe, for being the first to climb trees in the Year 1,565,432 BC....

I believe that the earliest genus to have both ape and monkey characteristics was Proconsul. It is probably the ancestor of all apes.
