Q. What was the most significant trend in the evolution of modern man (Homo sapiens) from his ancestors?

Solution:

The most significant trend in the evolution of modern man (Homo sapiens) from his ancestors is the development of brain capacity. The development of a much larger brain than that of other primates was observed, typically $1,330 \,cm^3$, which is twice the size of that of a chimpanzee or gorilla.
