b) For each change, suggest one reason why it has occurred.
c) Discuss the importance of diet in the evolution of the brain.
d) For any two of the hominid species listen below, give one significant cultural or biological development that occurred during that species' time span and describe the evolutionary significance the development gave to that species.
i. Australopithecus anamensis
ii. Homo habilis
