ANeanderthal man

CRamapithecus ape

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Neanderthal man
1. Wise-man corresponds to the class Homo sapiens.
2. The text identifies the first example of this wise-man.
3. It states Neanderthal man can be considered the first example of wise-man.
4. So the answer is Neanderthal man.
5. Trap (Cro-Magnon): Cro-Magnon man evolved later, about fifty thousand years ago.
6. Trap (Ramapithecus): this is a far earlier human-like ape, not a wise-man.
7. Trap (skilled human): the skilled human stage came before the wise-man stage.
8. Hence Neanderthal man is the first example of wise-man.
