Going back 4 million years puts one into the australopithicus afarensis ( Lucy) range.
Generally the first "species" to get the designation Homo is Homo Habilis about 2.2 million years ago.
The recent announcements from the Neanderthal genome project cast serious doubt on all these "species" designations. Or, we are going to have to dump the idea that a species cannot successfully interbreed with another species.
