Solution:
Australopithecus is the connecting link between ape and human. Their brain capacity ranged from, 450–600 cc, i.e., slightly larger than that of modern adult Chimpanzee. Thus, Australopithecine’s represented man with an ape–brain. Australopithecus were frugivorous and lived in grassland 2 million years ago.
The vertebral column had a distinct lumbar curve with pelvis broad and basin-like. The teeth were larger than those of the modern man though jaws and teeth were larger. Their face was prognathous and a chin was absent. The bulge of occipital region was small. Eyebrow ridges projected over the eyes.
Cro-Magnon man had evolved just prior to Homo sapiens sapiens and share many characters of modern man-like structure, and not like Apes.
Neanderthal man is thought to have originated Homo sapiens line. They were not like apes.
