C. Java ape-man
D. Peking man

Answer 1

Hint: Rock art is one of the oldest substance forms of human expression and is found worldwide. Ancient people created many distinct kinds of images, some easy and some complicated.

Complete step-by-step answer:
 Coloured rock paintings were first created by Cromagnon. Most ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) in Europe, the Cro-Magnons were from the outset related to well-known Lascaux cave paintings and the Aurignacian culture, the remains of which were known from Germany and southern France.
Neanderthals are an extinct species of hominids that were the closest relatives to modern humans. They lived all over parts of Asia and Europe from approximately 400,000 to almost 40,000 years ago and were adept at hunting large, Ice Age animals.
Java Ape Man is known as the Pithecanthropus erectus by the scientist Eugene Dubois. Pithecanthropus signifies ‘ape-man. The Homo erectus Erectus was commissioned by Mayer, in 1950. Java ape Man is the most popular name specified for early human fossils found on the island of Java (Indonesia) in 1891 and 1892.
Peking Man is an outstanding example of Homo erectus, an extinct species of the genus to which modern people also belong. Peking Man was originally named Sinanthropus pekinensis and currently is known as Homo erectus pekinensis. The remains were first found in 1921-1927 during excavations at Zhoukoudian (Choukoutien) near Beijing (former Peking), China.

Therefore the correct answer is Option A.
Note: Archeologists and anthropologists describe rock art as images drawn, carved, or painted onto immovable rock surfaces. Images that are engraved or carved into the rock are known as petroglyphs. Images made with paint or other pigment are known as pictographs.
