Question

The correct evolutionary sequence in the evolution of modern humans is:

• A. Homo habilis \(\rightarrow\) Homo erectus \(\rightarrow\) Neanderthal man \(\rightarrow\) Cro-Magnon man
• B. Homo erectus \(\rightarrow\) Homo habilis \(\rightarrow\) Neanderthal man
• C. Neanderthal man \(\rightarrow\) Homo habilis \(\rightarrow\) Cro-Magnon man
• D. Cro-Magnon man \(\rightarrow\) Homo erectus \(\rightarrow\) Homo habilis

Hint:

Remember: \[ \text{Habilis} \rightarrow \text{Erectus} \rightarrow \text{Neanderthal} \rightarrow \text{Cro-Magnon} \] Brain capacity gradually increased during evolution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Human evolution involved gradual development of:
• larger brain size
• upright posture
• intelligence
• tool-making ability Different ancestral forms appeared sequentially during evolution.

Step 1: Understanding important stages.
• Homo habilis: first tool maker
• Homo erectus: fully erect posture
• Neanderthal man: larger cranial capacity
• Cro-Magnon man: directly related to modern humans

Step 2: Arranging in chronological order. Correct evolutionary order: \[ \text{Homo habilis} \rightarrow \text{Homo erectus} \rightarrow \text{Neanderthal man} \rightarrow \text{Cro-Magnon man} \] Final Answer: \[ \boxed{(A)} \]
