Q. No.What kind of evidence suggested that man is more closely related to a chimpanzee than to other hominoid apes?
| 1. | Comparison of chromosome morphology only. |
| 2. | Evidence from fossil remains, and the fossil mitochondrial DNA alone. |
| 3. | Evidence from DNA extracted from sex chromosomes, autosomes, and mitochondria. |
| 4. | Evidence from DNA from sex chromosomes only. |
A Hominid fossil discovered in Java in 1891, now extinct, having a cranial capacity of about 900 cc was:
| 1. | Homo erectus | 2. | Neanderthal man |
| 3. | Homo sapiens | 4. | Australopithecus |
The most apparent changes during the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens is traced in:
1. Walking upright
2. Shortening of the jaws
3. Remarkable increase in brain size
4. Loss of body hair
There are two opposing views about the origin of modern man. According to one view, Homo erectus in Asia were the ancestors of modern man. A study of variation of DNA, however, suggested the African origin of modern man. What kind of observation of DNA variation could suggest?
| 1. | Greater variation in Asia than in Africa. |
| 2. | Similar variation in Africa and Asia. |
| 3. | Variation only in Asia and no variation in Africa. |
| 4. | Greater variation in Africa than in Asia. |
What is the most significant trend in the evolution of modern man (Homo sapiens) from the ancestors?
1. Increasing cranial capacity
2. Upright posture
3. Shortening of jaws
4. Binocular vision
Amongst the human ancestors the brain size was more than 1000 cc in
1. Homo habilis
2. Homo neanderthalensis
3. Homo erectus
4. Ramapithecus
