Read the following statements and choose the following option: 1. The first human-like being was called Homo habilis. 2. The brain capacities of Homo habilis were between 650-800cc. 3. Fossils discovered in Java in 1891 revealed the next stage, i.e., Homo erectus about 1.5 mya. 4. Homo erectus had a large brain around 900cc.

Step-by-step solution

Homo erectus probably ate meat. The Neanderthal man with a brain size of 1400cc lived in near east and central Asia between 1,00,000-40,000 years back. They used hides to protect their body and buried their dead. Homo sapiens arose in Africa and moved across continents and developed into distinct races. During ice age between 75,000-10,000 years ago modern Homo sapiens arose. Pre-historic cave art developed about 18,000 years ago. One such cave paintings by Pre-historic humans can be seen at Bhimbetka rock shelter
