Question

Which of the following statement is correct regarding evolution of mankind?

Options

• Homo erectus is preceded by Homo habilis.

• Neanderthal man and Cro-Magnon man were living at the same time.

• Australopithecus were living in Australia.

• None of these

Answer 1

Homo erectus is preceded by Homo habilis.

Explanation:

Human evolution followed a specific timeline where Homo habilis came before Homo erectus. The phrase "preceded by" means Homo habilis appeared earlier in time. The other statements are wrong because Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons lived in different time periods, and Australopithecus fossils were discovered in Africa, not Australia.
