Correct Option: 1  

Explanation:
Homo neanderthalensis, or Neanderthals
According to current knowledge, Neanderthals are thought to have lived between 400,000 and 40,000 years ago. The Smithsonian records that "Neanderthals made and used a diverse set of sophisticated tools, controlled fire, lived in shelters, made and wore clothing, were skilled hunters of large animals and also ate plant foods, and occasionally made symbolic or ornamental objects. There is evidence that Neanderthals deliberately buried their dead and occasionally even marked their graves with offerings, such as flowers."
