Use the image below to answer the question.

The tree shows information from the fossil record.

The chart shows a scale at the bottom ranging from 2.0 millions of years ago until present. The simple tree shows H. habilis (before 2.0 millions of years ago), H. erectus (between 1.5 and 1.0 milions of years ago), H. sapiens (between 1.0 and 0.5 millions of years ago), and H. neanderthalensis (present). The bushy tree H. habilis (before 2.0 millions of years ago), H. erectus (between 1.5 and 0.25 millions of years ago), and H. sapiens and H. neanderthalensis (present).

Based on the tree, which hominin lived at the same time as H. habilis?

Answer 1

Based on the tree described, H. erectus lived during a time that overlaps with H. habilis. The fossil record indicates that H. habilis existed before 2.0 million years ago, while H. erectus appeared between 1.5 and 1.0 million years ago. Therefore, the correct response is:

**H. erectus**
