Zoology - Evolution Question with Solution | TestHub

About 15 mya, primates called Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus were existing. They were hairy and walked like gorillas and chimpanzees. Two mya, Australopithecines probably lived in East African grasslands. They hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit. The first human-like being the hominid was called Homo habilis. The brain capacities were between 650-800cc. They probably did not eat meat. Fossils discovered in Java in 1891 revealed the next stage, i.e., Homo erectus about 1.5 mya. Homo erectus had a large brain around 900cc. During ice age between 75,000-10,000 years ago modern Homo sapiens arose
