The closest ancestor of modern humans which evolved in the Pleistocene age which was around 7 lakh to 3 lakh years is the Homo neanderthalensis or Neanderthals.

The Neanderthals became extinct around 12,000-10,000 years ago by competitive Homo sapiens.

The specimens of Neanderthals are collected from the central and Western Asia and parts of Europe and showed approximately the same cranial capacity which is around 1450-1500 cc.

Thus, Homo neanderthalensis is the correct answer.

Answer:

C. could not provide a mechanism for moving continents

Explanation:

Without the discovery of magnetic reversals recorded on the ocean floor, scientists could not provide a mechanism for moving continents.

Magnetic reversals are responsible for geological shifts and depend on the distribution of tectonic plates that causes movements of continents.

Asymmetric movement of tectonic plates leads to movement of continents and the degree of asymmetry varies with the same rythm of the magnetic reversal rate.

Hence, discovery of magnetic reversals are important to identify the mechanism for moving continents.
