Solution

Sure, here are some early human ancestors matched with the time periods they existed in:

  1. Australopithecus: This early human ancestor lived approximately 4 to 2 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch.

  2. Homo habilis: Homo habilis existed around 2.4 to 1.4 million years ago during the Pleistocene epoch.

  3. Homo erectus: This species lived from about 1.9 million to 110,000 years ago, spanning the end of the Pliocene and the entirety of the Pleistocene epoch.

  4. Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis): Neanderthals existed from about 400,000 to 40,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch.

  5. Homo sapiens: Modern humans, Homo sapiens, emerged around 300,000 years ago in the Middle Pleistocene and continue to the present day.

Please note that these are approximate dates and there is often overlap between the existence of these species.
