Sol.(a) [Key Concept: Neanderthal Man — Cranial Capacity ~1400 cc] Neanderthal man (Homo neanderthalensis) presumably possessed a cranial capacity of 1300-1600 cc — almost equal to or even a bit larger than today's modern man (~1450 cc on average). Homo habilis had 650-800 cc; Homo erectus 775-1200 cc; Australopithecus 450-550 cc.
