Question

As far as geographical distribution, the Neanderthals lived in each of the following places except:

a. in northern Europe ( in what is today called Germany)
b. central Europe (modern France and Spain)
c. around the Mediterranean (present day Greece)
d. in the Americas (especially North America)

Answer 1

The correct option is : d. in the Americas (especially North America)

Step-by-step explanation:

Homo neanderthalensis or the Neanderthals are the extinct species belonging to the archaic humans, genus Homo. The earliest fossil of Neanderthals was discovered in Europe and it is dated about 450,000- 430,000 years ago. The Neanderthals then expanded in the Southwest and the Central Asia.

The fossils of the Neanderthals have been found in northern Europe-Germany, central Europe- France and Spain and around the Mediterranean, Greece.

Therefore, the Neanderthals did not live in the Americas (especially North America)
