Answer #1

Option c is correct

Explanation: The common ancestor of both ape and man is Dryopithecus – a 20 million years old fossil discovered from Africa. Australopithecus also lived in Africa between 6 million to 1 million years ago. The genus Homo evolved 2 million years ago from one of such Australopithecines in Africa and then only moved out of the continent.

The first such Homo lived throughout Asia, some parts of Europe and Africa. But obviously, its evolution took place in Africa.

From the time of early studies by Sir Francis Galton in the late nineteenth century linking it with mental ability, the cranial capacity of the human skull has played an important role in arguments about IQ, racial differences, and evolution, sometimes with serious consequences. (See, for example, S.J. Gould, "The Mismeasure of Man," 1996.) Suppose that the mean cranial capacity measurement for modern, adult males is 1145 cc (cubic centimeters) and that the standard deviation is 262 cc. Complete the...
