Evolution of Man Questions in English

(D) Buried their dead.
Neanderthal man $(Homo \ neanderthalensis)$ had a brain capacity of approximately $1400 \ cc$.
They lived in the Near East and Central Asia between $1,00,000$ to $40,000$ years ago.
One of their most significant and identifiable cultural characteristics was that they buried their dead,which suggests the development of social or ritualistic behavior.

(A) The correct evolutionary sequence of early humans is: $Ramapithecus \rightarrow Australopithecus \rightarrow Homo \ habilis \rightarrow Homo \ erectus \rightarrow Neanderthal \ man \rightarrow Homo \ sapiens$. Based on the given options, the sequence provided in option $A$ is the most accurate representation of the chronological appearance of these species.

(B) Statement $I$ is incorrect because modern $Homo$ $sapiens$ arose in Africa, not Australia.
Statement $II$ is incorrect because $Homo$ $sapiens$ evolved much earlier, approximately $300,000$ years ago, not $75,000$ to $10,000$ years ago.
Therefore, both statements are incorrect.

(B) The chronological order of human evolution is as follows:
$1$. $Dryopithecus$ (approx. $15$ million years ago)
$2$. $Australopithecus$ (approx. $2$ million years ago)
$3$. $Homo$ $habilis$ (first human-like being)
$4$. $Homo$ $erectus$ (evolved from $Homo$ $habilis$)
$5$. $Neanderthal$ $man$ (lived near East and Central Asia)
Therefore, the correct sequence is $e \rightarrow c \rightarrow a \rightarrow b \rightarrow d$.
