the part of the skull surrounding the brain grew more pointed ashominins evolved
the face grew wider as hominins evloved
the face stuck out farther from the rest of the skull as hominins evoloved

Answer 1

The fossil record tells us that the part of the skull surrounding the brain grew larger as hominins evolved. This is evident in the transition from early hominin species with smaller brain capacities to later hominin species with larger brains, such as erectus and Homo sapiens. Additionally, the face of hominins evolved to become more vertically oriented rather than protruding forward, resulting in a more flat and rounded facial structure in modern humans.
