Question

The extinct human who lived 1,00,000 to 40,000 years ago, in East and central Asia, used hides to protect their bodies and had brain capacity of 1400 c.c. were
A. Homo habilis
B. Neanderthal man
C. Cro-Magnon man
D. Pamapiyhecus.

Answer 1

Hint:It had slightly prognathous face sloping forehead eyebrow ridges, smaller or no chin, large receding jaws, thick-boned skull and high domed head.

Complete answer:
To answer this question, first, we need to know about human evolution. Human evolution is a phenomenon that leads to the exposure of physically modern humans, initiating with the evolutionary history of humans in specific genus Homo and leading to the existence of Homo sapiens as a clear species of the hominid family that consist of the great apes.
Now, let us find the solution from the option.
>Homo habilis inhabited parts of sub-Saharan Africa from roughly 2.4 to 1.5 million years ago (mya).
>Neanderthal man lived 1,00,000 to 40,000 years ago, and got extinct 30,000 years ago. Their cranial capacity was 1300 to 1600 cc. They wore the skin as cloth to protect themselves from the rough climate.
>Cro-Magnon is an early Homo sapiens (the species to which modern humans belong) that lived about 40,000 years ago.
>Ramapithecus is known from India and East Africa in Late Miocene or Early Pliocene time (about 14 m. years ago).

Thus, the correct option is B. i.e. Neanderthal man.

Note:Neanderthal with a brain size of 1400cc lived in near East and central Asia, Europe and North Africa between 100000 to 40000 year ago. They used hides to protect their body and buried their dead. It is mentioned that Neanderthal man exists later than Homo erectus and Ramapithecus.
