Answer 1

The response that best captures what skulls in the fossil record tell us about hominin evolution is:

The nose became more prominent as hominins evolved.

This change in skull morphology can be correlated with adaptations to different environments and climates, as well as other physiological changes associated with the evolution of hominins. Other options, such as height or jaw growth, do not accurately reflect the overall patterns observed in hominin skull evolution.
