Which of the following is correct order of the evolutionary history of man : -
A
Peking man, Homo sapiens, Neanderthal man, Cro-Magnon man
B
Peking man, Neanderthal man, Homo sapiens, Cro-Magnon man
C
Peking man, Heidelberg man, Neanderthal man, Cro-Magnon man
D
Peking man, Neanderthal man, Homo sapiens, Heidelberg man
Detailed Solution
Peking man (Homo erectus pekinensis) lived about 500,000 years ago.
Heidelberg man (Homo heidelbergensis) followed, about 400,000–300,000 years ago.
Neanderthal man (Homo neanderthalensis) lived about 100,000–40,000 years ago.
Cro-Magnon man, an early form of modern Homo sapiens, lived about 30,000 years ago.
So the correct order is Peking man, Heidelberg man, Neanderthal man, Cro-Magnon man.
Heidelberg man (Homo heidelbergensis) followed, about 400,000–300,000 years ago.
Neanderthal man (Homo neanderthalensis) lived about 100,000–40,000 years ago.
Cro-Magnon man, an early form of modern Homo sapiens, lived about 30,000 years ago.
So the correct order is Peking man, Heidelberg man, Neanderthal man, Cro-Magnon man.
