Homo erectus possessed some primitive characteristics of earlier hominids, including
A) a chin.
B) a high forehead.
C) large browridges.
D) narrow postorbital constriction.

Accepted Answer

Homo erectus had large brow ridges, which is a primitive characteristic seen in earlier hominids. A chin (A) and high forehead (B) are more advanced characteristics not seen in earlier hominids. Narrow postorbital constriction (D) refers to the width between the eyes and the back of the skull, and is not a characteristic specific to earlier hominids.
