The first human-like being the hominid and was called Homo habilis which evolved around 2 mya. The next stage, i.e., Homo erectus evolved around about 1.5 mya. Neanderthal man lived in near east and central Asia between 1,00,000–40,000 years back and then Homo sapiens arose in Africa and moved across continents and developed into distinct races.
Identify the fossil of man who showed the following characteristics. [2023]
(A) Brain capacity of 1400 cc
(B) Used hides to protect their body
(C) Buried their dead bodies
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Homo erectus
Neanderthal man
Homo habilis
Australopithecus
(2)
The given characteristics are of Neanderthal man which had a brain size of 1400 cc and 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.
Match the hominids with their correct brain size. [2019]
| (A) | Homo habilis | (i) | 900cc |
| (B) | Homo neanderthalensis | (ii) | 1350cc |
| (C) | Homo erectus | (iii) | 650–800cc |
| (D) | Homo sapiens | (iv) | 1400cc |
Select the correct option:
A - (iv), B - (iii), C - (i), D - (ii)
A - (iii), B - (i), C - (iv), D - (ii)
A - (iii), B - (ii), C - (i), D - (iv)
A - (iii), B - (iv), C - (i), D - (ii)
Which of the following statements is correct about the origin and evolution of men? [2019]
Agriculture came around 50,000 years back.
The Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus primates existing 15 million years ago, walked like men.
Homo habilis probably ate meat.
Neanderthal men lived in Asia between 1,00,000 and 40,000 years back.

Agriculture came around 10,000 years back and human settlements started. About 15 mya primates called Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus were existing. They were hairy and walked like gorillas and chimpanzees. Homo erectus probably ate meat.
The chronological order of human evolution from early to the recent is [2016]
Australopithecus → Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus
Ramapithecus → Australopithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus
Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Australopithecus → Homo erectus
Australopithecus → Homo habilis → Ramapithecus → Homo erectus
Which of the following had the smallest brain capacity? [2015]
Homo neanderthalensis
Homo habilis
Homo erectus
Homo sapiens
(2)
The brain capacity gradually increased from early human ancestors to modern man. Homo habilis had 650–800 cc brain capacity which increased around 900 cc in Homo erectus. The Neanderthal man (Homo neanderthalensis) had 1400 cc brain capacity which evolved to around 1450 cc in Homo sapiens.
