Which of the following statements is considered true of neanderthals? a. they evolved into homo sapiens. b. they had some system of religious beliefs about afterlife. c. they had smaller brains than homo sapiens (modern humans). d. they emerged after the ice age.

The correct answer will be option D (They emerged after the ice age)

Explanation:

Homo neanderthalensis also known as Neanderthals were our closest extinct evolutionary relatives, which were evolved from Homo erectus between 300,000 and 200,000 years ago during Pleistocene Epoch.

They co-existed with modern humans (Homo sapiens) for long periods of time and were replaced by modern human populations in last 30,000 to 24000 years.

Their bigger bodies were with short legs were well adapted to preserve heat during cold climate (Bergmann's and Allen's rule) suggest that they lived before and during the last ice age in harsh environments for tens to thousands of years and scattered across Europe and the Middle East after ice age.

thus, option D is the correct answer.

d

explanation:

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.
