Q48. The skeleton of the Nariokotome boy (WT-15,000) is 90% complete and includes both a cranium and most of the post-cranial bones.  The cranial capacity is close to 900 cc (and would have been over 900 cc if the boy had lived to adulthood).   Although the brain is not yet as large as that of modern humans, this fossil belongs to a species with a brain much larger than the ape-sized brains of earlier hominins.  This early member of the genus Homo shows a brain size which is more than twice the size of the brain of any known Australopith.   To be scored “true” the statement must be true in its entirety.  If any part of a statement is false, then the entire answer should be scored false.
