Solution

The Australopithecus is believed to have stood erect first. Here's a brief timeline:

  1. Australopithecus: This early hominid is believed to have lived between 4 million and 2 million years ago. They are considered one of the earliest ancestors of humans to have stood upright.

  2. Java Man: Discovered in Java, Indonesia, these remains are estimated to be between 1.5 million and 1 million years old.

  3. Peking Man: These remains were found near Beijing, China, and are believed to be roughly 500,000 years old.

  4. Cromagnon Man: This term was used to describe the first early modern humans (of the Homo sapiens species) of the European Upper Paleolithic. The Cromagnon Man lived around 50,000 years ago.

So, according to this timeline, the Australopithecus stood erect first.
