A— ii, Homo erectus was the first man on earth who walked on two limbs. They had undergone various morphological changes due to evolution. B — iv Homo sapiens were the modern man. They were one of the several species grouped into the genus Homo, but it is the only one that is not extinct. C — iii Java man is the extinct hominids known from fossil remains found on the island of Java. Hugo de Vries worked in the fields of heredity and its relation to the origin of species, framing the mutation theory. D — i Dryopithecus is the genus of extinct ape that is representative of early members of the lineage that includes humans and other apes. Column A Column B A. Walked on limbs ii. Homo erectus B .
