The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The evolutionary path of modern humans from ancestral species is multifaceted. The chronological progression of key stages in human evolution is as follows:

  • Homo habilis (A): Recognized as an early Homo genus representative, distinguished by its tool-making capabilities.
  • Homo erectus (D): Characterized by an upright posture and migration out of Africa.
  • Homo neanderthalensis (C): A separate species coexisting with early Homo sapiens in Eurasian territories.
  • Homo sapiens (B): The species encompassing all contemporary humans.

The correct chronological order is thus: A-D-C-B.
