A. The islands only formed after Homo luzonensis became extinct, so Neanderthals must have put them on the island B.

The islands were a few miles apart, and Homo luzonensis clearly had to learn how to fly to get to them D. The islands were volcanoes when Homo luzonensis was alive, so it's unexpected that they were therearrow_forward
