Question

In the given picture of human evolution, identify the missing stages, i.e., A, B, C and D.

• A. $\begin{array}{cccc}\text{A}& \text{B}& \text{C}& \text{D}\\ \text{Homo erectus}& \text{Cro-magnon man}& \text{Ramapithecus}& \text{Australopithecus}\end{array}$
• B. $\begin{array}{cccc}\text{A}& \text{B}& \text{C}& \text{D}\\ \text{Solo man}& \text{Homo erectus}& \text{Australopithecus}& \text{Ramapithecus}\end{array}$
• C. $\begin{array}{cccc}\text{A}& \text{B}& \text{C}& \text{D}\\ \text{Rhodesianman}& \text{Cro-magnon man}& \text{Ramapithecus}& \text{Australopithecus}\end{array}$
• D. $\begin{array}{cccc}\text{A}& \text{B}& \text{C}& \text{D}\\ \text{Cro-magnon man}& \text{Homo erectus}& \text{Australopithecus}& \text{Ramapithecus}\end{array}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\begin{array}{cccc}\text{A}& \text{B}& \text{C}& \text{D}\\ \text{Homo erectus}& \text{Cro-magnon man}& \text{Ramapithecus}& \text{Australopithecus}\end{array}$

The sequence of stages in the evolution of modern man is Dryopithecus, Ramapithecus, Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthal man, Cro-magnon man and modern man.
The earliest Homo sapiens were Neanderthal man and earliest Homo sapiens sapiens were Cro-magnon man. Homo erectus were the first erect ape man. The Home erectus gradually evolved into the Homo Sapiens. Cro-magnon man are considered extinct modern man.
