Observe the evolutionary trend of cranial capacities given below: 650-800 cc 900 cc 1400 cc Which of the following options correctly identifies the hominids corresponding to these brain capacities in the exact same sequence?
Options
- AHomo habilis Neanderthal man Homo erectus
- BHomo habilis Homo erectus Neanderthal man
- CAustralopithecines Homo habilis Homo erectus
- DHomo erectus Homo habilis Neanderthal man
Correct answer
B. Homo habilis Homo erectus Neanderthal man
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT data on human evolution, the cranial capacities of different hominids are as follows: Homo habilis had a brain capacity between 650-800 cc. Homo erectus had a larger brain of around 900 cc. Neanderthal man had a brain size of 1400 cc. Therefore, the correct sequence matching the given trend (650-800 cc 900 cc 1400 cc) is Homo habilis Homo erectus Neanderthal man. Answer: Homo habilis Homo erectus Neanderthal man
