Explanation:

Only a few fossils relating to human evolution have been discovered in the Indian subcontinent.
Nonetheless, some of the earliest skull fossils have been found in the Siwalik hills covering India and Pakistan.
These skulls appear in the Potwar plateau, in Punjab province of Pakistan, which is developed on sandstone. These skulls are called Ramapithecus and Sivapithecus.
They seem to possess some hominid features though they represent apes.
Ramapithecus was the female, but both belonged to the same group.
Remains of Ramapithecus were subsequently found in other parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe as well, and were dated between 10–14 million years ago.
