Question

The first human-like hominid was called?
A) Homo erectus
B) Homo sapiens
C) Ramapithecus
D) Homo habilis

Answer 1

Hint: The first modern humans evolved from primitive hominids 200,000 to 300,000 years ago. They developed their language skills about 50,000 years ago. About 70,000-100,000 years ago, the first modern humans began to migrate to Africa.

Complete answer:
Homo habilis (Latin: "powerful people" or "hands-on people") are extinct species of mankind and are the oldest representative of mankind. Hobbits lived in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, about 2.4 to 1.5 million years ago. In 1959 and 1960, the first fossils were found in Olduvai Canyon in northern Tanzania. This discovery was a turning point in the science of paleoanthropology, because the oldest human fossil ever was an Asian specimen of Homo erectus. In terms of the evolutionary development between the relatively primitive ancient apes and the more advanced human species, many of the characteristics of Homo habilis seem to be in the middle.

Calabrian stage: The Calabrian stage is the second of the four stages in the Pleistocene series, covering all rocks deposited during the Quaternary Calabrian era (1.8 million to 781,000 years ago). The name of this interval is derived from the area of ​​the same name in southern Italy.

Gelasian age: The Gelasian is an age or a stage in the chronostratigraphy in the international geological time scale, and is the earliest or lowest subdivision of the Quaternary period or system and the Pleistocene period. Its time span is between 2.588±0.005 Ma and 1.806±0.005 Ma.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: One of the early ancestors of modern people who used primitive stone tools. Their remains were found in Olduvai Canyon in Tanzania. It is believed that they are about 2 million years old. The size of the Hobbit’s brain is about 700 cc (larger than Australopithecus).
