Answer 1

The correct option is D Neanderthal men lived in Asia between 1,00,000 and 40, 000 years back

Neanderthal men lived in Asia between 1,00,000 and 40,000 years back.

About 15 mya, primates called Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus were existing. They were hairy and walked like gorillas and chimpanzees.

Homo habilis probably did not eat meat.

Homo sapiens arose in Africa and moved across continents
and developed into distinct races.
