Solution:

Hominids are human like beings. First discovered hominid fossils were that of Homo habilis with 650-800 cc brain capacity and they probably did not eat meat. Then in 1891, hominid fossils named Homo erectus were discovered in Java, that flourished about 1.5 mya. It had a large brain (around 900 cc) and probably ate meat.
