 1. What are the characteristics of man in every evolution?
In the lesson being discussed, there are four stages of human evolu-
tion. First is the Sahelanthropus that has brain size about 320-380
cubic centimeter, small teeth similar to other hominids and has the
ability to walk upright. Second is the Ardipithecus that has small
brain, weight of about 120 pounds, skull size similar to an ape, can
walk on two legs or feet and lived in jungles and forest like the chim-
panzees. Third is the Australopithecus that is also known as
“southern ape”. It has brain that was almost one-third of the size of
modern human and they also used tools like sticks and stones for
digging but do not make tools. They lived in small social groups and
ate insects, eggs, plants, fruits and sometimes meat. Last is the Ho-
mo that is classified as humans and not humanlike creatures be-
cause they had bigger brains and were bipedal.
2. What are the things that they can do?
Each kind of hominid has their own ability to do. Sahelanthropus can
walk upright. Ardipithecus can walk on two legs or feet. Aus-
tralophithecus know how to use tools in hunting and learn to eat dif-
ferent kinds of foods and lastly, Homo have the ability not only to use
tools but also to produce tools and use it for food hunting and gather-
ing.
3. What are the similarities in each other?
Different types of hominid also have their own unique characteristics
but most of all, all those types of hominid have similarities like they
have brain, just different sizes, they have the capacity to move, just
in different ways and it all belongs to the discovery of human evolu-
tion.
