Given below are some stages of human evolution. Arrange them in correct sequence. (Past to Recent) A. Homo habilis B. Homo sapiens C. Homo neanderthalensis D. Homo erectus Choose the correct sequence of human evolution from the options given below:
Homo habilis (2 mya, 650-800 cc) -> Homo erectus (1.5 mya, 900 cc) -> Neanderthal (100k-40k ya, 1400 cc) -> Homo sapiens (75k-10k ya)! Sequence: A -> D -> C -> B!
The evolutionary progression of genus Homo documented in NCERT follows: 1. Homo habilis: First hominid tool-maker, brain 650-800 cc (Stage A). 2. Homo erectus: Java man around 1.5 million years ago, brain ~900 cc (Stage D). 3. Neanderthal man (Homo neanderthalensis): Lived in near east and central Asia between 100,000-40,000 years ago, brain 1400 cc (Stage C). 4. Homo sapiens: Modern human species arose in Africa and migrated between 75,000-10,000 years ago (Stage B).
From past to recent, the sequence is uniquely A -> D -> C -> B.
Diagnose every choice: Know exactly why the right option works and why distractors fail.

Accurately traces chronological hominid evolution from Homo habilis to Homo erectus, Neanderthal man, and Homo sapiens.
Places Homo erectus before Homo habilis.
Places modern Homo sapiens at the beginning of the evolutionary timeline.
Placing Homo erectus before Homo habilis.
"The first human-like being the hominid and was called Homo habilis. The brain capacities were between 650-800cc... fossils discovered in Java in 1891 revealed the next stage, i.e. Homo erectus about 1.5 mya. The Neanderthal man with a brain size of 1400cc lived near east and central Asia between 100,000-40,000 years ago. Homo sapiens arose in Africa and moved across continents."
