NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 6. evolution
Evolution of human appears parallel to the progressive development of brain and language skills. As such, the evolution of individual species in the sequence of their appearance is :
- A Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Neanderthal → Homo sapiens
- B Homo sapiens → Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Neanderthal → Homo erectus
- C Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Ramapithecus → Neanderthal → Homo sapiens
- D Neanderthal → Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Homo sapiens
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Neanderthal → Homo sapiens
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Neanderthal → Homo sapiens
The evolutionary sequence of human species in the order of their appearance is:
Ramapithecus (about 15 million years ago
↓
Australopithecus (about 2 million years ago)
↓
Homo habilis (about 2 million years ago)
↓
Homo erectus (about (A)5 million years ago)
↓
Neanderthal man (100,000 - 40,000 years ago)
↓
Homo sapiens (75,000 - 10,000 years ago)
Thus, the correct sequence is Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Neanderthal → Homo sapiens.
