Answer:

The first and second hominids have a more recent common ancestor than the first and third hominids.

Explanation:

The similarity in DNA can definitely reveal us about common ancestry but it does not guarantee that the two species must be mating and reproducing. The best example to support this statement is that humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor and both have so much similarity in their DNA. The DNA of humans and chimpanzees is around 99% similar but still humans and chimpanzees cannot mate to produce off springs. Several attempts have been made in past to obtain fertile off springs by mating humans and chimpanzees but so far their mating has not produced any fertile off spring.
