The names of the ancestors of modern humans in the order of their appearance.

The man had 5 main ancestors. The first primates to develop rapidly were Dryopithecus. They looked like monkeys. They had no tools yet. Next came Australopithecines. They were already upright and had tools. Then Pithecanthropus appeared. Behind them are the Neanderthals. Finally, the Cro-Magnons were the last in front of Homo sapiens. All of them are distinguished into different groups due to different physiological characteristics and brain development. But it is worth remembering an important thing that man did not descend from a monkey, but had a common ancestor with the monkey.
