Question

First evidence of ceremonial burial of dead body and belief on religion have been found with fossil of

• A. Homo habilis
• B. Homo erectus
• C. Neanderthal
• D. Cro-magnon

Answer 1

The correct option is C Neanderthal

The roots of burial as a practice can be traced back in Middle Palaeolithic and coincide with the appearance of Neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens.

Since then mounts of earth, temples etc., have been used for storage of ancestor bodies.

Whereas Homo erectus and Homo habilis are first to cook and protect themselves from wild beasts, and Cro-magnon (Homo sapiens fossil's) made coloured cave painting.

Hence correct answer is option C.
