Solution:

Homo habilis is the first human-like (the hominid) organism with cranial capacity of 650-800cc. They probably did not eat meat.
Homo erectus (1.5 mya): Fossils were discovered in Java in 1891. Cranial capacity was 900cc (large brain). They probably ate meat.
Neanderthal man (1,00,000-40,000 years ago): They lived near east and central Asia. Cranial capacity was 1400cc. They used hides to protect their bodies and buried dead individuals.
