Solution

The earliest species in the genus Homo, Homo habilis, is believed to have evolved into Homo erectus. Homo erectus then evolved into several different species, including Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthals), and Homo sapiens (modern humans). It's important to note that human evolution is not a linear process but rather a branching tree with many extinct relatives along the way.
