(a) : Binocular vision, smaller jaw and upright posture are the main adaptations that led to evolution of man from its ancestors. But, during human evolution major and most significant changes occurred in the cranial capacity ofman. In living modern man it is about $1450 \ cc$ compared to $500\ cc$ in Australopithecus. Increased cranial capacity accommodates larger brain and forms the basis of social, cultural and educational evolution of modern man.
