Solution

The correct option is C Hominids
The earliest humans were called archaic humans or homonids. They looked more like apes than humans and had larger facial features, in comparison. Their brain capacity was a little more than the apes. They were first generation humans and evolved into other specimens like Australopithecus, Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus.
