About $15$ mya, primates called Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus were existing.
They were hairy and walked like gorilllas and chimpanzees.
Ramapithecus was more man-like while Dryopithecus was more ape-like.
Few fossils of man-like bones have been discovered in Ethiopia and Tanzania.
These revealed hominid features leading to the belief that about $3-4$ mya, man-like primates walked in eastern Africa.
They were probably not taller than $4$ feet but walked up right.
Two mya Australopithecines probably lived in East African grasslands.
Evidence shows they hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit.
Some of the bones among the bones discovered were different.
This creature was called the first human like being the hominid and was called Homo habilis. The brain capacities were between $650-800 \mathrm{cc}$.
By what Latin name the first hominid was known ?

The extinct human who lived $1,00,000$ to $40,000$ years ago, in Europe, Asia and parts of Africa, with short stature, heavy eye brows, retreating fore heads, large jaws with heavy teeth, stocky bodies, a lumbering gait and stooped posture was
Who among the Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus was more man-like ?
