Match List-I (place) with List-II (finding) related to the evolution…

The correct answer is Option (4) → A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

(A) Ethiopia and Tanzania — this matches (IV) Fossils of man-like bones showing hominid features. These few fossils led to the belief that about 3-4 mya man-like primates walked upright in eastern Africa.

(B) Java — this matches (III) Fossils revealing Homo erectus. The fossils found in Java in 1891 showed Homo erectus, about 1.5 mya, with a brain of around 900 cc.

(C) Bhimbetka rock shelter, Raisen district, Madhya Pradesh — this matches (I) Pre-historic cave paintings. Pre-historic cave art developed about 18,000 years ago, and Bhimbetka is the example NCERT gives.

(D) East African grasslands — this matches (II) Australopithecines probably lived here. About two mya, Australopithecines lived here; they hunted with stone weapons but mostly ate fruit.

NCERT Extract:
Origin and Evolution of Man – “… Few fossils of man-like bones have been discovered in Ethiopia and Tanzania (Figure 6.11). These revealed hominid features leading to the belief that about 3-4 mya, man-like primates walked in eastern Africa. They were probably not taller than 4 feet but walked up right. Two mya, Australopithecines probably lived in East African grasslands.”
Origin and Evolution of Man – “… Fossils discovered in Java in 1891 revealed the next stage, i.e., Homo erectus about 1.5 mya. Homo erectus had a large brain around 900cc.”
Origin and Evolution of Man – “… Pre-historic cave art developed about 18,000 years ago. One such cave paintings by Pre-historic humans can be seen at Bhimbetka rock shelter in Raisen district of Madhya Pradesh.”
