Question

Assertion: Homo habilis is considered as the first human-like being or a hominid.
Reason: They probably ate meat, covered their body with animal hides and buried their dead.

• A. Both assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
• B. Both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
• C. Assertion is true but the reason is false
• D. Both the assertion and reason are false
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is true but the reason is false

Homo habilis were the first hominid with bipedal locomotion and 650-800cc brain capacity. They were the first tool makers. They probably did not eat meat. They are the first hominid fossils to be discovered. It was the Neanderthal man who used to cover their body with animal hides and bury their dead. So the assertion is true but the reason is false.
