who find the first ancestors man's fossils?

 According to Martin Pickford, one of the principals involved, these fossil remains represent “humanity’s earliest-known ancestor” – predating previous discoveries by at least 1.5 million years (according to the evolutionary calendar). This new “ancestor” has been dubbed “Millennium Man,” and he is reputed to be “at least 6 million years old”.
 Early African Homo erectus fossils (sometimes called Homo ergaster) are the oldest known early humans to have possessed modern human-like body proportions with relatively elongated legs and shorter arms compared to the size of the torso.
