Read the following statements and choose the following option: 1. About 15 mya, primates called Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus were existing. 2. Ramapithecus was more man-like while Dryopithecus was more ape-like. 3. Two mya, Australopithecines probably lived in East African grasslands. 4. Evidence shows Ramapithecus hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit.

Step-by-step solution

About 15 mya, primates called Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus were existing. They were hairy and walked like gorillas and chimpanzees. Ramapithecus was more man-like while Dryopithecus was more ape-like. Few fossils of man-like bones have been discovered in Ethiopia and Tanzania (Figure 6.11). These revealed hominid features leading to the belief that about 3-4 mya, man-like primates walked in eastern Africa. They were probably not taller than 4 feet but walked up right. Two mya, Australopithecines probably lived in
