Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Neanderthals did not have grapefruit-sized skulls and were not less than a meter tall. They overlapped with modern humans for a period of time and interbred with them, which is why a few percent of the genomes of people with European or Asian ancestry come from Neanderthals. So, the correct answer is D.
