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

  1. AHomo habilis Neanderthal man Homo erectus
  2. BHomo habilis Homo erectus Neanderthal man
  3. CAustralopithecines Homo habilis Homo erectus
  4. 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
