Solution
The correct option is D Handy man, Peking man, Neanderthal man, Cro-Magnon man
The first known species of the genus Homo to have existed is Homo habilis, commonly known as "handy man". This stage was followed by Homo erectus (erect/upright man), and "peking man" was the common name of a particular group under this species. Homo neanderthalensis or Neanderthal man followed this stage, and finally came in the Homo sapiens, which includes modern humans. The first population of this species was known as Cro-Magnon man. It is thought that the anatomically modern human beings evolved from a previous ancestor, Homo heidelbergensis which was the African equivalent of Homo erectus, some 200,000 years ago.
