  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Evolution of man was possible because our ape-like ancestors 
    Solution
    Evolution of man was possible because our ape-like ancestors showed bipedal movement on open land. Bipedalism is a form of terrestrial locomotion where an organism moves by means of its two rear limbs or legs. The greatest advantage of bipedal movement is forearms becoming free for carrying out the order of brain. It also raises the head; this allows a greater field of vision with improved detection of distant dangers or resources, access to deeper water for wading animals and allows the animals to reach higher food sources with their mouths. So, the correct answer is option A.
  • Question 2

    Who discovered Java ape man?
    Solution
    Java man, extinct hominin, member of the human lineage known from fossil remains found on the island of Java, Indonesia. A skullcap and thighbone discovered by the Dutch anatomist and geologist Eugene Dubois in the early 1890s were the first known fossils of the species Homo erectus. 
    Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    On which of the following continent, maximum fossils of prehistoric man have been found?
    Solution
    A- Humans first appeared in the African continent some six million years ago. According to the genetic and paleontological record, we only started to leave Africa between 60,000 and 70,000 years ago, in the middle of the stone age and this is the reason why most fossils are found in the African continent. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Scientific name of human is 
    Solution
    Homo sapiens is the binomial nomenclature for the only extant human species. Homo is the human genus, which also includes Neanderthals and many other extinct species of hominid; H. sapiens is the only surviving species of the genus Homo. The binomial name Homo sapiens was coined by Carl Linnaeus. 
    Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Most recent man found as fossil was
    Solution
    Most recent man found fossil was Cromagnon man. It lived during the upper Paleolithic period (40,000 to 10,000 years ago) in Europe. The fossils were discovered in 1868 in a shallow cave at Cro-Magnon near the town of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac in the Dordogne region of southwestern France. They were robustly built and powerful and are presumed to have been about 166 to 171 cm. The body was generally heavy and solid, apparently with strong musculature. The forehead was straight, with slight brow ridges, and the face short and wide. Cro-Magnons were the first humans to have a prominent chin. The brain capacity was about 1,600 cc. 
    So, the correct answer is option C.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    What is the contribution of W.C. pei?
    Solution
    Pei Wenzhong was a Chinese paleontologist, archaeologist and anthropologist born in Fengnan. Professor Pei is considered a founding figure of Chinese anthropology. He graduated from Peking University in 1928 and went to work for the Cenozoic Research Laboratory of the Geological Survey of China joining the excavations of the Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian, where he was named the field director of the excavations the following year. The first fossil hominin skullcap was recovered by Pei working in a 40-meter crevasse in frigid weather with a hammer in one hand and a candle in the other on December 2, 1929.
    Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The mesozoic era of earth is called the
    Solution
    In geology texts, the mesozoic era, which began some 250 million years ago, is usually called the "Age of Reptiles". It is divided into three periods, the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. In the typical description, encountered in texts on geology, paleontology and evolutionary biology, it is "the era during which reptiles dominated life on earth until their extinction at the end of the Cretaceous Period, 65 million years ago". The idea that reptiles "ruled" the mesozoic dates back to Cuvier, who in the early nineteenth century asserted there had once been a time, when reptiles were dominant. It also comes from the popular misconception, that dinosaurs were all large. Thus, option D is correct. The mesozoic era of earth is not called the  age of amphibians, age of armoured fish and age of primitive man.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Dinosaurs are
    Solution
    Dinosaur, the common name given to a group of reptiles, often very large, that first appeared roughly 245 million years ago (near the beginning of the Middle Triassic Epoch) and thrived worldwide for nearly 180 million years. Most died out by the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 66 million years ago, but many lines of evidence now show that one lineage evolved into birds about 150 million years ago.
    Therefore, the correct answer is option b.
