Answer 1

Answer:

The features showed by Neanderthal man showed resemblance to the modern man and so were called as the subspecies of the Homo sapiens. The DNA of the men differ from the modern man by 0.12%. The brain capacity of the Neanderthal man was higher than the modern man. However, the Cro-magnon man developed from the Neanderthal man and gave rise to the Homo sapiens and so the Cro-magnon man is the direct ancestor of the Homo sapiens.

Thus, the correct answer is option C
