He believes that Homo neanderthalensis were the first hominids to bury their dead. What would make this conclusion incorrect?A. Finding a fossil of Homo habilis beneath fossils of Homo neanderthalensisB. Finding fossils of Homo neanderthalensis skeletons in isolationC. Finding burial sites of modern Homo sapiens in the same region as Homo neanderthalensis fossilsD. Finding burial sites of Homo habilis on different continents

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The guy on top is correct!

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Finding burial sites of modern Homo sapiens in the same region as Homo neanderthalensis fossils

Explanation

Hominids is a term used to refer to different specimens of human evolution. According to scientific research, it has been established that the best known hominid species of the "Homo" family are organized chronologically as "Homo habilis", "Homo erectus", "Homo neanderthalensis", and, "Homo sapiens". On the other hand, if an anthropologist believes that the Homo neanderthalensis were the first to practice burials but it is found this practice is only associated to subsequent species such as the Homo sapiens it can be concluded the conclusion of the anthropologist is false. So, the correct answer is c. Finding burial sites of modern Homo sapiens in the same region as Homo neanderthalensis fossils. because the lack of burial sites from Homo Neanderthalensis along with the existence of burial sites of homo sapiens shows this practice belongs to the modern hominid species.
