The correct answer is Option (3) → (C), (B), (A), (D)

(C) Homo habilis — first. It lived about 2 million years ago and was probably the first human-like being. Its brain was about 650-800 cc, and it probably did not eat meat.

(B) Homo erectus — second. Fossils about 1.5 million years old show it had a larger brain, about 900 cc, and probably ate meat.

(A) Neanderthal man — third. It lived about 1,00,000 to 40,000 years ago in the Middle East and Central Asia. Its brain was about 1400 cc, and it buried its dead.

(D) Homo sapiens — last. Modern man arose in Africa and moved across the continents. It is the latest of the four.

Origin and Evolution of Man – “… Some of the bones among the bones discovered were different. This creature was called the first human-like being the hominid and was called Homo habilis. The brain capacities were between 650-800cc. They probably did not eat meat. Fossils discovered in Java in 1891 revealed the next stage, i.e., Homo erectus about 1.5 mya. Homo erectus had a large brain around 900cc. Homo erectus probably ate meat. The Neanderthal man with a brain size of 1400cc lived in near east and central Asia between 1,00,000-40,000 years back.”
