The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the evolution of man, we need to evaluate each statement one by one and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). ### 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." - **Evaluation**: Homo erectus is indeed one of the first human-like beings, but its cranial capacity is generally accepted to be around 900 cc, not between 650-800 cc. Therefore, this statement is **False (F)**. 2. **Statement B**: "The cranial capacity of modern man is closer and similar to Neanderthal man." - **Evaluation**: The cranial capacity of modern humans averages around 1400-1600 cc, while Neanderthals have a cranial capacity ranging from about 1300 to 1600 cc. This indicates that their cranial capacities are indeed similar. Therefore, this statement is **True (T)**. 3. **Statement C**: "During the ice age 10,000-40,000 years ago, modern Homo sapiens arose." - **Evaluation**: Modern Homo sapiens are believed to have arisen much earlier, around 75,000 years ago, and continued to exist through the ice age. The time frame mentioned in this statement is incorrect. Therefore, this statement is **False (F)**. 4. **Statement D**: "The skull of an adult chimpanzee is more like a baby human skull." - **Evaluation**: This statement reflects the fact that the skull structure of an adult chimpanzee shares similarities with that of a human infant, which supports the evolutionary connection between humans and chimpanzees. Therefore, this statement is **True (T)**. ### Summary of Evaluations: - Statement A: False (F) - Statement B: True (T) - Statement C: False (F) - Statement D: True (T) ### Final Answer: - A: F - B: T - C: F - D: T
