Solution
The correct option is B A- 4, B- 3, C- 2, D- 1
East African sites, such as Chesowanja near Lake Baringo, Koobi Fora, and Olorgesailie in Kenya, show some possible evidence that fire was utilized by early humans. At Chesowanja, archaeologists found red clay sherds dated to be 1.42 Mya. Reheating on these shards show that the clay must have been heated to 400 C to harden. At Koobi Fora, two sites show evidence of control of fire by Homo erectus at 1.5 Mya, with reddening of sediment that can only come from heating at 200400 C. A "hearth-like depression" exists at a site in Olorgesailie, Kenya. Some microscopic charcoal was found, but it could have resulted from a natural brush fire. Australopithecus is an extinct genus of hominid. From paleontological and archaeological evidence, it appears that the Australopithecus genus evolved in eastern Africa around 4 million years ago before spreading throughout the continent and eventually becoming extinct somewhat after 2 million years ago. They are the connection link between ape and man. Dryopithecus was a genus of apes that is known from Eastern Africa into Eurasia during the late Miocene period. The first species of Dryopithecus was discovered at the site of Saint-Gaudens, Haute-Garonne, France, in 1856. They are ancestors of modern apes. The importance of Propliopithecus is that it occupied a place on the primate evolutionary tree very near to the ancient split between "old world" apes and monkeys, and may well have been the earliest true ape. They are ape like primates.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
