Question #533b4

Answer 1

1. Cro Magnon man skull was found in Ethiopia in 1997

Explanation:

Number 1 is correct. The skull of a Cro-Magnon man skull was found in Ethiopia in 1997. This changed the theories of the origins of modern man.

2.Australopitheus is not regarded as an ancestor of the modern humans. Australopitheus africanus, boisei, robustus are varied types of hominoids. The africanus is very small and more related to apes than humans, Rubustus is very large as is boisei. The timeline between these is extremely contradictory. For example the Taung fossil identified as a Australopithecus was dated using geological evidence from the cave where it was found at 0.87 million years. True humans are thought to have been in South Africa at 0.75 million years ago. Meaning that Australopitheus africanus cannot be an ancestor of the modern humans.

1. Dyropithecus is a form of an extinct ape. Not related to modern humans at all.

2. Homo erectus is considered by many to be a direct ancestor of modern humans. Many scientist consider Homo Erectus to be part of the Homo Sapiens (Day Homo turmoil Nature 348 p 688) 4. could be considered true. However it is not without controversy.

3. is factually correct beyond argument. The other answers are wrong or open to interpretation and debate.
