Question

B. Australopithecus →Homo habilis→ Ramapithecus→ Homo erectus
C. Australopithecus→ Ramapithecus→ Homo habilis→ Homo erectus
D. Ramapithecus→ Australopithecus→ Homo habilis→ Homo erectus

Answer 1

Humans and their close ancestors are called hominids. The first hominids probably emerged between 6-4 million years ago during the late Miocene or early Pliocene period. The earliest known fossils have been discovered in Southern and Eastern Africa.

Complete answer:
Ramapithecus
Ramapithecus belonged to the Miocene period i.e. about 13 million years old in the Shivalik hills by E. Lewis. It was the earliest man like Primate with incisor and canine teeth.
It probably had bipedal locomotion and its diet and habits were very similar to modern man.
Australopithecus
Australopithecus africannus was discovered by Raymond Dart with cranial capacity 450-500cc and bipedal locomotion.
They were omnivorous with prognathous faces but man-like characters such as lumber curve, broad-basin pelvic, parabolic dentition.
All fossils of this belong to the early Pleistocene period and are believed to give rise to genus Homo.
Homo habilis
They evolved about 2 million years ago during the early Pleistocene period and their fossil was discovered by Leaky from East Africa.
They had a cranial capacity of 680 cc and they used hands, walked straight and used chipped stone tools.
They had prominent brow ridges, protruded jaws, lower jaw tightly built and had small canines.
Homo erectus
They evolved between 1.7 and 1.5 million years ago during the middle Pleistocene period from Homo habilis.
They walked erect over long legs, had prognathous faces and used stone and bone tools. Some primitive type of speech had developed in them.
