Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Order of appearance of human ancestors]
The expected textbook order is Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Homo neanderthalensis → Homo sapiens, corresponding to A–D–C–B, option (2). This is an order of appearance used for this question; human evolution branches, and Neanderthals should not be presented as a compulsory direct ancestral stage of modern humans.
