Explanation

Cro-Magnon Man (Homo sapiens) succeeded Neanderthals in the evolutionary timeline, appearing around 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals went extinct approximately 30,000 years ago, while Cro-Magnons represented early modern humans. Java Man and Peking Man are Homo erectus fossils, and Australopithecus is a much earlier hominid ancestor.
