D)Pithecanthropus‌ ‌

Answer 1

Hint: People descended from apelike ancestors through a long process of change known as human evolution. Scientific evidence suggests that the physical and behavioral characteristics shared by all humans evolved over a six-million-year period from apelike ancestors.

Complete answer:
Human evolution has been marked by morphological, developmental, physiological, and behavioral changes since its split from the last common ancestor of humans and chimps. Bipedalism, increased brain size, lengthened ontogeny (gestation and infancy), and decreased sexual dimorphism are the most significant of these adaptations. The connection between these shifts is the subject of ongoing debate.
Option A: Homo habilis: Homo habilis ("handyman") is an archaic human species that lived between 2.3 and 1.65 million years ago in East and South Africa (mya). Many researchers recommended that H. habilis be synonymized with Australopithecus africanus, the only other early hominin known at the time when it was first described in 1964. However, as time passed, H. habilis gained more recognition.
Option B: Eoanthropus: The Piltdown man was a paleoanthropological hoax in which bone fragments were misidentified as the fossilized remains of an unknown early human. These fragments were said to have been collected in 1912 from a gravel pit in Piltdown, East Sussex, England, and included parts of a skull and jawbone.
The specimen was given the Latin name Eoanthropus dawsoni. The significance of the specimen was debated until it was revealed to be a forgery in 1953, consisting of an orangutan's lower jawbone deliberately combined with the cranium of a fully developed modern human.
Option C: Homo sapiens: 'Wise human' is the name we choose for ourselves. Sapiens is derived from a Latin word that means 'wise' or 'astute.
 Option D: Pithecanthropus: Java Man is an early human fossil discovered on the Indonesian island of Java in 1891 and 1892. It was the oldest hominid fossils ever discovered when it was discovered, and it is still the type specimen for Homo erectus. It is estimated to be between 700,000 and 1,000,000 years old.

So, 'Piltdown man' is Eoanthropus As a result, option B is the correct answer.

Note: Paleoanthropology is the study of human evolution as a science. Paleoanthropology is a branch of anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human culture, society, and biology. The field entails determining the similarities and differences in genes, body form, physiology, and behavior between humans and other species.
