Solution

The correct option is C Neanderthal man - 1,00,000- 40,000 years ago - 1400 cc
Homo habilis existed approximately 2 million years ago. They had cranial capacity of about 650-800 cc.

Cranial capacity is the volume of the brain inside the cranium. A bigger brain is associated with higher intelligence.

Homo erectus existed about 1.5 million years ago. Their cranial capacity was about 900 cc.

Neanderthal man (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) lived between 1,00,000 - 40,000 years ago.They had the cranial capacity of 1400cc.

Homo sapiens arose between 75,000 -10,000 years ago. Their average cranial capacity is about 1300 cc to 1600 cc.
