Q. Consider the following pairs: | Lucy | One of the oldest hominid fossils |
| Narmada Man | First hominid fossil found in India |
| Hadar | Location of the oldest human skeletons |
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Answer:
All three pairs
Notes: - Lucy: She is indeed one of the oldest hominid fossils, dating back about 3.2 million years, and belongs to the species Australopithecus afarensis. So, this pair is correct.
- Narmada Man: The discovery of this fossil in the Narmada Valley marked the first evidence of hominids in India, and it is attributed to Homo erectus. This pair is correct.
- Hadar: This site in Ethiopia is famous for yielding some of the oldest human skeletons, including Lucy, making this pair correct as well.
Thus, all three pairs are correct.
