Solution

The correct option is B Neanderthal man
Fossils of Neanderthals were first discovered in the Neander Valley in Germany. They lived throughout Europe, western Asia and parts of Africa. These early humans had short, sturdy builds. Their faces projected slightly, their chins and foreheads receded, they had heavy supraorbital ridges and heavy jawbones, and their brains and front teeth were larger than those of modern humans.
