Solution
The most accepted line of descent in human evolution is Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Homo sapiens.
Explanation:
The widely accepted evolutionary line shows Ramapithecus (ape-like ancestor) giving rise to Homo habilis (the tool-maker), then Homo erectus (upright man), and finally Homo sapiens (modern humans). This sequence best fits fossil and cultural evidence.
