Question

Which of the following correctly describes the general trend in hominid evolution? 

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.
According to the study of human evolution, the first individuals of the genus Homo evolved at approximately 7 million years ago. The general trend of their evolution included an increase of the skull (specifically the cranium) and subsequently the brain size. This, in turn, increased the brain capacity. In addition, hominids evolved to stand upright and walk with their two feet only, a phenomenon called bipedalism. Finally, they started developing and using tools.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

(B) Increase in brain capacity, bipedalism, use of tools.

EXPLANATION:

Hominid evolution is an evolutionary process which led to the development of modern humans. At first, the size of the sull particularly cranium increased in size. This led to an increase in brain capacity. The jaws became smaller. The homonids started standing upright on their two feet. At last, they started making and using tools.
