Answer:
d. is the result of genetic drift
Explanation:
The Homo floresiensis is a small hominid species that lived on the island of Flores, Indonesia. It has been debated a lot about Homo floresiensis, is it Homo sapiens that shrunk in size because of the conditions, or is it a separate hominid species. The general consensus nowadays is that Homo floresiensis is a separate species of hominid, and this has been based on anatomical and genetic analyses. This species of hominid is very interesting as it only grew to a height of 1.1 meters, was sing tools, but it also lived for some time along side the Homo sapiens, meaning that our species had encountered these small hominids.
