Which of the following statements about Neanderthals is true?
a. They had short limbs relative to their body size, probably as an
adaptation to cold climates
b. They had long limbs relative to body size, probably as an adaptation to
warm climates.
c. They were the first hominin adapted to virtually all climates in which
humans later lived.
d. They were very small, owing to their evolution on islands.

Answer :

They were the first hominins to successfully adapt to almost every climate later humans encountered. Regarding Neanderthals, this assertion is accurate.

Neandertals who lived in Europe and Western Asia between 40,000 and 200,000 years ago, mostly during extremely cold periods, were smaller than modern humans and had shorter lower leg lengths.

Neanderthals were most likely fierce warriors and superb fighters, second only to modern humans in terms of aggression. Territorialism is a trait of predatory land mammals, particularly pack hunters. Neanderthals were cooperative large game hunters, just like lions, wolves, and members of our own species, Homo sapiens.

They resemble cavemen from cartoons. Large noses, massive bodies, shorter than modern humans but larger and thicker bones, step-sloped foreheads, and prominent brow ridges are some of their physical characteristics.
