Explanation :
Homo heidelbergensis is believed to have evolved in Europe and is considered as an ancestor of both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. The other options either originated in Africa (Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo ergaster) or are considered as possible ancestors of Homo erectus without clear evidence of European origins (Homo rudolfensis).
