(a) About 15 mya , Australopithecus were probably lived in African grassland and were essentially ate fruit.
(b) The first human like being the hominid was called Homo erectus with capacity 650 - 800cc.

The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct pair from the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Option (a) **Statement**: About 15 mya, Australopithecus were probably lived in African grassland and were essentially ate fruit. - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. Australopithecus is not the correct genus for the species that lived in African grasslands and primarily consumed fruit. The correct genera that fit this description are Dryopithecus or Ramapithecus. **Hint**: Look for the correct genus associated with the habitat and diet mentioned. ### Step 2: Analyze Option (b) **Statement**: The first human-like being, the hominid, was called Homo erectus with a capacity of 650 - 800 cc. - **Evaluation**: This statement is also incorrect. The first human-like hominid is actually Homo habilis, not Homo erectus. Homo erectus had a larger brain capacity, typically ranging from 600 to 1,100 cc. **Hint**: Identify the first hominid species and their brain capacity accurately. ### Step 3: Analyze Option (c) **Statement**: Between 100,000 - 40,000 years back, the Neanderthal man evolved which had a brain size of 1400 cc. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. Neanderthals did exist during this time frame and had a brain size around 1400 cc, which is comparable to modern humans. **Hint**: Confirm the time frame and brain size of the Neanderthal man. ### Step 4: Analyze Option (d) **Statement**: The skull of a body human is more like an adult chimpanzee skull than an adult human skull. - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. The human skull is more similar to that of a baby chimpanzee rather than an adult chimpanzee. Adult chimpanzee skulls have distinct features that differ from human skulls. **Hint**: Compare the skull characteristics of humans and chimpanzees at different life stages. ### Conclusion After analyzing all options, the correct pair is: **(c)** Between 100,000 - 40,000 years back, the Neanderthal man evolved which had a brain size of 1400 cc.
