Solution

The correct option is D Statement 1 is correct while statement 2 is incorrect
Australopithecus is the connecting link between apes and humans. They lived in the East African grasslands around 2-4 mya. The first fossil was discovered by Prof. Raymond Dart and named Taung baby (A. africanus).

The Neanderthal man lived near east and central Asia between 100k - 40k years back. They had a brain capacity of 1400cc (near to modern humans) and used animal hides to cover their body and bury their dead.

Thus, statement 1 is correct while statement 2 is incorrect.
