Which animal has a large brain in proportion to its body?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a tiger
  2. b lion
  3. c human
  4. d elephant
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: c human

Humans are in genus Homo because their brain is the largest for their body size.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a tiger: Not the tiger; the largest brain for body size is the trait of genus Homo (humans).
  • b lion: Not the lion; the book gives this as the reason for the human genus Homo.
  • d elephant: An elephant's brain is large, but the largest brain for body size is the human's (Homo).
