Direct ancestor of modern man was (c) Homo sapiens .
Homo sapiens emerged around 300,000 years ago.
They were derived likely from Homo heidelbergensis.
The word sapiens is obtained from Latin word that means wise or intelligent.
So Homo sapiens were intelligent and that lead to the evolution of modern man.
Evidences suggest that the Homo errectus had arrived from Africa and a transition had happened where homo sapiens were separated out.
