The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the evolution of man and determine the truth value of each statement, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A**: "The first human-like being, the hominid was called Homo erectus with cranial capacities between 650-800 cc." - **Analysis**: This statement is **False**. The first human-like being (hominid) is actually considered to be **Homo habilis**, not Homo erectus. Homo habilis had a cranial capacity of approximately 510 to 600 cc, while Homo erectus had a cranial capacity ranging from about 600 to 1,100 cc. 2. **Statement B**: "The cranial capacity of modern man is closer and similar to Neanderthal man." - **Analysis**: This statement is **True**. The cranial capacity of modern humans (Homo sapiens) averages around 1450 cc, while that of Neanderthals ranges from approximately 1300 to 1600 cc, indicating a similarity. 3. **Statement C**: "During the ice age 100,000-40,000 years ago, modern Homo sapiens arose." - **Analysis**: This statement is **False**. Modern Homo sapiens are believed to have arisen approximately **75,000 to 200,000 years ago**, with significant developments occurring after that period, but not specifically during the ice age mentioned. 4. **Statement D**: "The skull of an adult chimpanzee is more like a baby human skull." - **Analysis**: This statement is **False**. While there are some similarities in the structure of skulls, the adult chimpanzee skull is not more like a baby human skull. In fact, the adult human skull has distinct features that differentiate it from both the adult chimpanzee and the baby human skull. ### Summary of Truth Values: - Statement A: **False** - Statement B: **True** - Statement C: **False** - Statement D: **False** ### Final Answer: The correct option that states the truth values is: - A is False, B is True, C is False, D is False.
