Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modern humans are classified as Homo sapiens.

Answer: B
 Homo erectus, an earlier hominid species, is known to have made tools from stone.

Answers A, C, and E are false. H. sapiens did not leave Africa until around 200,000 years ago, there is no evidence that armed conflicts led to the extinction of H. neanderthalis, and H. sapiens did not evolve directly from H. neanderthalis but rather shared a common ancestor.
