Question

Place the following hominins in order from SMALLEST to LARGEST cranial capacity: Homo erectus, Early Homo, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo floresiensis

Select one:
a. Early Homo, Homo floresiensis, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis
b. Homo floresiensis, Early Homo, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis
c. Early Homo, Homo erectus, Homo floresiensis, Homo heidelbergensis
d. Homo floresiensis, Homo erectus, Early Homo, Homo heidelbergensis

Answer 1

The correct answer is option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the species of early Homo known as Homo habilis exhibits the cranial capacity of 752 cubic centimeters. Homo erectus possesses the cranial capacity of approximately 900 cubic centimeters. Homo floresiensis exhibits the cranial capacity of 417 cubic centimeters, while Homo heidelbergenesis exhibits the cranial capacity of 1200 cubic centimeters. Therefore, after aligning these hominins on the basis of the smallest to largest cranial capacity, the correct answer will be option b.
