Do you know what the difference between an ape and a monkey is? It is not merely a pedantic question. You will be most excited to learn that my mother was a great ape and I am, in fact, a great ape.

The answer to your question is, to the best of my knoweledge, homo antecessor. There might be another hominin in there before sapiens, I do not know.

Hominoids (a superfamily that includes modern apes and humans) split off from old world monkeys about 20 million years ago. The most likely common ancestor is Proconsul.
