Differentiate between Apes and Man with respect to the following characteristics :
(i) Posture (ii) Cranium
(iii) Brow ridges (iv) Locomotion

Characteristics |
APES |
MAN |
|
Postures |
Their posture is slightly bent during locomotion and they take help from their forelimbs, their heads are balanced on heavy shoulders and found buried. |
Body posture is errect, man’s forelimbs are free, used for other purposes than locomotion, man’s head is erect and balanced on the neck. |
|
Cranium |
Cranium (brain box) is small, cranial capacity of Gibbon 100 c.c. |
Cranium is large with the cranial capacity of about 1450 c.c. |
|
Brow Ridges |
Their brow ridges are heavy and protruded. |
The brow ridges are thin and not much protruded. |
|
