Ancient apes are the common ancestors. Australopithecus afarensis is an early hominin. Homo erectus evolved further. Homo sapiens are the modern - day humans. In the context of hominin evolution, ancient apes would be at the base of the evolutionary tree, followed by Australopithecus afarensis, then Homo erectus, and finally Homo sapiens at a more recent position.

Answer:

From bottom - up (assuming the left - most box is the starting point of the evolutionary line): ancient apes, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens.
