• C. Development of culture
• D. Arms longer than legs

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Increase in brain capacity
B Bipedal locomotion
C Development of culture

During human evolution, significant changes occurred in the cranial capacity of man. It increased gradually.

• Australopithecus 500 cc
• Homo habilis 700 cc
• Homo erectus 1100 cc
• Homo sapiens sapiens- 1300 cc

Increased cranial capacity helped accommodate a larger brain and formed the basis of social, cultural and educational evolution of man.
Bipedalism, is the ability to walk on two legs, first observed in Australopithecus, was possible due to the presence of a curve in the vertebral column.
Arms longer than legs was a feature seen in the apes.
