A skull from the genus Homo that dates from approximately 750,000 years ago is discovered. Where would the foramen magnum most likely be located?

The foramen magnum is the opening where the spinal cord connects to the brain. In the genus Homo, which includes upright-walking humans and their relatives, it is positioned underneath the skull so the head balances over the spine. Therefore, it would most likely be at the bottom of the skull.
