"Human beings (that's us) are known as homo sapiens sapiens. DNA testing has shown that the closest relative of human beings is Neanderthal Man (homo sapiens neanderthalus). Neanderthal Man is now extinct. The closest living of human beings now is the chimpanzee. Neanderthal Man was a much closer relative to us than the chimpanzee." =============================
Mitochondrial DNA testing shows that Neanderthal WAS NOT a genetic ancestor to modern H.Sapiens - but only similar kind of species . Refer to National Geographic:
http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/neanderthal-code-3228/04#tab-evolving-view-4 ============================= I hope I did not give anyone the impression that Neanderthal man was our ancestor. The relationship is more like a cousin. How close a cousin Neanderthal man was to us is a good question, but Neanderthal Man was much closer to us than is the chimpanzee.
Homo erectus is the closest relative to modern humans out of the options provided. They are believed to be direct ancestors of Homo sapiens, while Australopithecines, Cro-Magnon, and Homo habilis are not as closely related in the evolutionary timeline.
According to scientists, the closest relative to modern humans is monkeys; since humans supposedly evolved from monkeys.
Cro-Magnon were early modern humans. They evolved into modern Europeans.
Chimpanzees
Neanderthal
Homo erectus is the closest known relative to modern humans.
Homo erectus is the closest known relative to modern humans.
Homo erectus coexisted with several species of australopithecines including Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, and possibly Australopithecus garhi. These australopithecines lived before the appearance of Homo erectus and were part of the evolutionary lineage that eventually led to humans.
It is Homo Erectus. Hence the name, "Upright Man"!
Homo habilis is more like Homo erectus than the australopithecines. Homo habilis is considered part of the genus Homo due to its more advanced traits such as increased brain size and tool use, while australopithecines are an earlier group of hominins with more primitive features.

D. Homo habilis was likely the first human species to use crude tools, as they are known for their stone tool technology.
Conocarpus erectus was created in 1753.
Cultösaurus Erectus was created in 1980.
