  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Connecting link between man and ape was
    Solution
    Ardipithecus and Australopithecus species are often referred to as australopithecines. Australopithecus species were bipedal (walked on two feet), an important hominid feature. The Australopithecus gives rise to man-like apes. It had human-like teeth but it had more of an ape brain than a human brain.
    So, the correct answer is option B.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Pithecanthropus erectus fossil was found in
    Solution
    Java man (Homo erectus erectus or Pithecanthropus erectus), was a sub species of Homo erectus, that lived around 0.6 million years ago. His fossils have been discovered in Java. He lived in caves and used fire.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which one of the following character differentiate man from other mammals?
    Solution
    Social life and power of speech are not unique characters of man. Several other animals especially, Arthropods lead a social life and power of speech is present in several vertebrates. Superior intelligence does not distinguish man from apes. Apes are also categorised as intelligent animals. However, apes have a lower cranial capacity (100 cc in Gibbon, 400 cc in Orangutan and Chimpanzee and 550 cc in Gorilla), but man has a higher cranial capacity (1400 - 1450 cc). Man also has a higher brain to body weight ratio as compared to apes.
    So, the correct answer is option D.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    In which epoch the fossils of Sinanthropus pekinensis have been discovered?
    Solution
    Homo erectus was a erect man from middle Pleistocene epoch. It lived from 1.7 to 0.25 million years ago. One of the important species of Homo erectus was the Peking man or Homo erectus pekinensis  also called as Homo erectus sinanthropus or Sinanthropus pekinensis.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    In human evolution, which one of the following is the most recent?
    Solution
    The cultural evolution of man is described in following stages- Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic. Neolithic age is the most recent in which man developed agriculture, manufactured pottery and clothes.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Which primitive man lived on earth at the end of pleistocene era?
    Solution
    At the end of Pleistocene or around late Pleistocene, evolved Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens are the parent species to which modern man belongs. Homo sapiens developed three subspecies viz. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis or Neanderthal man, Homo sapiens fossilis  or Cro-Magnon man and Homo sapiens sapiens or modern man.
    So, the correct answer is option C.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Which one of the following is the direct ancestor of modern man?
    Solution
    During human evolution, several species and subspecies roamed on earth and lived together and also possibly exchanged genes, thus, obscuring the exact lineage which ultimately evolved into modern humans, but Homo erectus that lived around middle Pleistocene, are thought of as the direct line that evolved into modern man. The most important subspecies of Homo erectus are Java man, Peking man and Heidelberg man.
    So, the correct answer is 'Homo erectus'
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Neanderthal man was followed by
    Solution
    Homo sapiens is the parent species to which modern man belongs. It evolved from Homo erectus  in Africa. Homo sapiens developed three subspecies- Neanderthal man, Cromagnon man and Modern man. The most primitive of these three, the Neanderthals, lived 30,000 to 100,000 years ago. This was followed by Cromagnon man, who lived around 20,000 to 50,000 years ago.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    In Homo habilis, 'habilis' refers to
    Solution
    The first hominid Homo habilis lived in Africa about 2 million years ago. Homo habilis made primitive stone tools. Thus, they are called tool maker or handy man.
    So, the correct answer is option D.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The humming bird, hawk and the humming moth illustrate
    Solution
    Convergent evolution is the evolution of similar traits in unrelated lineages (usually geographically distant). Hummingbird, hawk and the humming moth belongs to different lineage but forelimbs are modified to wings to adapt for flight
    So, the correct answer is 'Convergent evolution'
