CORRECTLY PLACED QUESTION:
There is a great deal of scientific controversy surrounding whether:
a) Neandertals existed outside of modern-day Europe
b) Genetic ancestry between Homo habilis and anatomically modern humans exists
c) There is a genetic relationship between Homo erectus and Neandertals
d) Anatomically modern humans are related to Neanderthals
Answer: d) Anatomically modern humans are related to Neanderthals
Explanation:
There is no scientific controversy over whether Neandertals existed outside of modern-day Europe because that has been established through archaelogical research and evidences. Also, that genetic ancestry between Homo habilis and anatomically modern humans exists isn't a scientific controversy.
It has also been confirmed that there is a genetic relationship between Homo erectus (archaic humans) and Neanderthals. But there is still a great deal of scientific controversy surrounding whether anatomically modern humans are related to Neanderthals.
