The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about human ancestors with a brain size greater than 1000 cc. This refers to the cranial capacity, which is the volume of the brain measured in cubic centimeters (cc). 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Homo Erectus - Ramapithecus - Homo Habilis - Homo Neanderthals 3. **Researching Brain Sizes**: - **Homo Neanderthals**: Their cranial capacity ranges from approximately 1300 to 1600 cc. - **Homo Erectus**: Their cranial capacity is around 800 to 1000 cc. - **Homo Habilis**: Their cranial capacity is about 375 cc. - **Ramapithecus**: This species is much older and had a smaller cranial capacity, but specific values are less commonly cited. 4. **Comparing the Brain Sizes**: - Homo Neanderthals clearly have a cranial capacity greater than 1000 cc. - Homo Erectus is on the cusp but does not consistently exceed 1000 cc. - Homo Habilis and Ramapithecus have significantly smaller cranial capacities. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the cranial capacities, the only ancestor among the options with a brain size greater than 1000 cc is **Homo Neanderthals**. **Final Answer**: Homo Neanderthals ---
