An anthropologist compares the remains of homo neaderthalensis to earlier hominid species, like homo habilis, and to the contemporary and later species homo sapiens. he believes that homo neanderthalensis were the first hominids to bury their dead. what would make this conclusion incorrect?

This conclusion would be incorrect only if there's evidence that some of the other hominids was burying the dead before the Homo neanderthalensis.

In order to have such a claim, the anthropologist will have to have a proof that will confirm that the burial sites of the Homo neanderthalensis are older than the burial sites of any other hominid species. If that is not the case, and there's proof that some of the other hominids have been burying their dead before the Homo neanderthalensis, than the claim will be wrong.

Also, it is very tricky to make a claim like that, because the fossils of the hominids are pretty rare, and that can be a clue that they have been burying the dead since they are so hard to find even though they have all lived until very recently (geologically speaking).

it's not c. i took the quiz and got it wrong. so my best guess is b.

have a great day, and hope this .
