• B. Australopithecus, Homo erectus, Neanderthal Man, Cro-Magnon Man, Modern Man
• C. Neanderthal Man, Australopithecus, Cro-Magnon Man, Homo erectus, Modern Man
• D. Homo erectus, Australopithecus, Neanderthal Man, Cro-Magnon Man, Modern Man

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Australopithecus, Homo erectus, Neanderthal Man, Cro-Magnon Man, Modern Man

The sequence of evolution of man or Homo sapiens is

• Dryopethicus and Ramapithecus are primates exist about 15 million years ago
  
• Evidence shows during 2 million years ago Australopithecus probably lived in East African grassland.
• Homo habilis considered as first human being like.
• Fossils discovered in Java in 1891 revealed the next stage known as
• Homo erectus about 1.5 million years ago with the brain capacity of 900 cc.
• The Neanderthal man with the brain size of 1400 cc lived near east and central Asia between 1,00,00 to 40,000 years back.
• Cro-Magnon evolved from Neanderthal and are found in Europe known as early modern man.
• Homo sapiens arose in Africa and moved across continents between 75,000 to 10,000 years ago and is known as a modern man.

So the correct option is 'Australopithecus, Neanderthal Man, Cro-Magnon Man, Modern Man'
