Answer:

B. They hunted animals.

D. They made tools.

E. They used fire.

Step-by-step explanation:

The man Homo neanderthalensis or Neanderthals is a species of the genus Homo that lived approximately 250,000 ago. They walked upright, their thorax was wide and their limbs short. They lived in small groups and had a nomadic lifestyle. They were omnivorous and hunted all kinds in the earth and water dams, and made use of fire to cook some food, mainly vegetables. In several excavations, the tools they used were found; for example, tools made of flint. (Stones composed mainly of silica).

Homo sapiens or wise man, is what we commonly call "men." Like Neanderthals, we belong to the genus Homo. The oldest remains found are 315,000 years ago. Our species began as a hunter and nomad, composed of small groups where tasks such as hunting or gathering were divided. Like the Neanderthals, man created tools made of stone that allowed him to hunt.

There is evidence that both species, homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis, interacted for many years and even procreated between both species. This due to the similarities between both species.

I hope this information can help you.
