Radiometric dating and the cranial capacity measurements are back from the paleolab for the specimen you discovered at the site you were excavating in South Africa.  Lab results indicate that the cranial capacity is 520 cubic centimeters and it dates to about 1.5 million years ago.  After having identified the cranial traits present, you can now take this new information and provide, at least, the genus to which you think it may belong. Based on this information, choose from the options below, the category to which you think it most likely belongs.   Group of answer choices Pre-australopith Premodern Human Gracile Australopithecine Early Genus Homo Robust Australopithecine Late Genus Homo
