Detailed explanation-1: -The Ramapithecus and the Cro-Magnon man are the ancestors of the modern man. The Homo sapiens, commonly known as the modern man, have evolved from them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Homo sapiens fossilis is also known by the name of Cro-magnon man. He was the direct ancestor of modern man (Homo sapiens). Cro-Magnon man emerged about 34000 years ago in Holocene epoch. Thus, it is regarded as most recent ancestor of today’s man.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Cro-Magnon” is the name scientists once used to refer to what are now called Early Modern Humans or Anatomically Modern Humans-people who lived in our world at the end of the last ice age (ca. 40, 000–10, 000 years ago); they lived alongside Neanderthals for about 10, 000 of those years.
Detailed explanation-4: -The exact origin of modern humans has long been a topic of debate. Modern humans originated in Africa within the past 200, 000 years and evolved from their most likely recent common ancestor, Homo erectus.
