The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options cannot be considered an evolutionary trend in human evolution, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Evolutionary Trends**: - Evolutionary trends refer to the gradual changes in physical characteristics or behaviors of a species over time due to natural selection and adaptation. 2. **Option A: Development of Chin**: - The development of the chin is indeed an evolutionary trend. Early human ancestors did not have a prominent chin, and over time, as human facial structure evolved, the chin became more pronounced. - **Conclusion**: This option is part of the evolutionary trend. 3. **Option B: Erect Posture by Development of Lumbar Curve**: - The development of an erect posture is another evolutionary trend. Early ancestors walked on all fours, and as they evolved, they developed a lumbar curve that allowed for upright walking. - **Conclusion**: This option is also part of the evolutionary trend. 4. **Option C: Narrowing of Iliac Bones of Pelvic Girdle**: - This option states that the iliac bones of the pelvic girdle are narrowing. However, in human evolution, the iliac bones have actually broadened and expanded to create a basin-like structure that supports internal organs and aids in bipedal locomotion. - **Conclusion**: This option does not follow the evolutionary trend, as it incorrectly describes the change in the pelvic girdle. 5. **Option D: Increase in Skull Capacity**: - The increase in skull capacity is a well-documented evolutionary trend. Over time, human skulls have increased in size to accommodate larger brains, with modern humans having a cranial capacity ranging from 1,315 cc to 2,000 cc. - **Conclusion**: This option is part of the evolutionary trend. ### Final Answer: The option that cannot be considered an evolutionary trend in human evolution is **C: Narrowing of Iliac Bones of Pelvic Girdle**. ---
