Hint:   Evolution involves progressive changes from simple to more complicated forms. Humans are believed to have evolved from easier forms. Evolution is hypothesised to have started in the oceans billions of years before. Darwin offered the theory of evolution. In his book -The Origin of Species, Darwin said that evolution has come through a sequence of natural selection.Complete step-by-step answer:Homo sapiens is the only surviving species of hominin around the present day, but several thousand years ago, there were some other species that existed alongside anatomically modern man like the Neanderthals, the Homo floresiensis, and Denisovans. Nowadays, researchers consider Neanderthals to be more of a subspecies of humans instead of an entirely separate species. 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. The fossil of Neanderthal man was first found in 1856 by C. Fuhirott in Germany. They were short less than 150 cm in height. Because of their very heavily built and powerful body, they had remarkably outward curved bones. They had thick-boned skulls which had depression and protruded from behind. The forehead was low and inclined and had a big brain nearly 900 cc. They had no religious sentiment. Therefore the correct answer is Option C.Note:   The evolution process includes a sequence of changes that cause the species to either adapt to the natural environment or become extinct. Evolution is the result of changes in the genetic substance of humans. This does not change a single organism, but the whole group of organisms that belong to a similar species.
