Using your knowledge of hominid evolution, which of the following correctly associates the given brain capacities with the hominid species in the table in order from smallest to largest? h. neanderthalensis, h. habilis, a. africanus, a. afarensis a. afarensis, a. africanus, h. habilis, h. neanderthalensis a. afarensis, a. africanus, h. neanderthalensis, h. habilis h. habilis, a. afarensis, a. africanus, h. neanderthalensis

Answer;

-A. afarensis, A. africanus, H. habilis, H. neanderthalensis

Explanation;

-The expansion of the hominid brain begun with the genus Homo. The brain of the earlier hominid genus Australopithecus had a volume of about 400 cubic centimeters, not much larger than that of the great apes.

-Throughout human evolution, the brain has continued to expand. Estimated average brain masses of A. afarensis (435 grams (0.96 pound)), A. africanus (450 grams [0.99 pound]), and H. habilis (600 grams [1.32 pounds]).

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
