Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $(C)$.Binocular vision,smaller jaws,and upright posture are important adaptations that occurred during human evolution.However,the most significant trend in the evolution of modern man from his ancestors is the increase in cranial capacity.In modern humans ($Homo$ $sapiens$),the cranial capacity is approximately $1450$ $cc$,whereas it was only about $500$ $cc$ in $Australopithecus$.This increased cranial capacity allowed for a larger brain,which serves as the foundation for the social,cultural,and intellectual development of modern man.

$(d)$ Homo sapiens	$(iv)$ $1400 \text{ cc}$
