Ramapithecus -12-2million years old in the Miocene- has human-like jaw and are supposed to be first branched off from apes lineage that gradually evolved into modern man- Australopithecus- a hominid that lived 4-5 to 4 million years ago- was discovered in 1924 from South Africa and hence is also called as -x201C-Southern ape of Africa-x201D- Genus homo consists of six members out of whom Homo habilis -2-3 mya- is the oldest one characterized by small stature with a larger brain and smaller molars and premolars than Australopithecus which are considered to be immediate ancestor of the genus homo- Fossils of Homo erectus -1-7 mya- were discovered from Pleistocene rocks of Central Jawa and hence the name Jawa man- Also known as Peking man- they are supposed to be the first one to use fire-Therefore- the correct answer is option D-
