Zoology - Evolution Question with Solution | TestHub

About$15\mathrm{ }\mathrm{m}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{a}$, primates calledDryopithecusandRamapithecuswere existing. They were hairy and walked like gorillas and chimpanzees.Australopithecinesprobably lived in East African grasslands about$2\mathrm{ }\mathrm{m}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{a}$. Evidence shows they hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit. The first human-like being the hominid was calledHomo habilis. The brain capacities were between$650-800\mathrm{c}\mathrm{c}$. They probably did not eat meat. Fossils discovered in Java in$1891$revealed the next stage, i.e.,Homo erectus(Java Man) who lived about$1.5\mathrm{ }\mathrm{m}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{a}$. The Neanderthal man with a brain size of$1400\mathrm{c}\mathrm{c}$lived in near east and central Asia between$\mathrm{1,00,000}-\mathrm{40,000}$years back.
