Among the human ancestors the brain size was more than 1000 cc in
A
Homo erectus
B
Ramapithecus
C
Homo habilis
D
Homo neanderthalensis
Detailed Solution
The cranial capacity increased steadily during human evolution.
Ramapithecus was an early ape-like form with a small brain.
Homo habilis had a brain capacity between 650 and 800 cc.
Homo erectus had a brain capacity of around 900 cc.
The Neanderthal man (Homo neanderthalensis), with a brain size of about 1400 cc (range roughly 1300-1600 cc), lived in east and central Asia between 1,00,000 and 40,000 years back.
So among those listed, the brain size was more than 1000 cc in Homo neanderthalensis.
