NEET 2026, Biology Q88: Origin and Evolution of Man

NEET2026Biology
Q.

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:

  1. A

    Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Neanderthal → Homo sapiens

  2. B

    Homo sapiens → Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Neanderthal → Homo erectus

  3. C

    Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Ramapithecus → Neanderthal → Homo sapiens

  4. D

    Neanderthal → Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Homo sapiens

Solution

The accepted chronological order of human evolution is:

Ramapithecus → Australopithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Neanderthalensis → Homo sapiens.

Among the options, option (1) gives this sequence (skipping Australopithecus) and is therefore correct.
