Archaeological studies suggest the theory that :

History and CultureAncient history

AAll the continents were settled with human societies at about the same time
BFarming societies developed before hunting and gathering
CThe earliest human evolved in the Rift valley in East Africa
DThe wheel was in use in all ancient societies

Explanation

Archaeological and fossil evidence — from sites like Olduvai Gorge in the East African Rift Valley — supports the theory that the earliest humans evolved in the Rift Valley of East Africa. Farming came long after hunting and gathering (option B wrong), human settlement was not simultaneous across continents (option A wrong), and the wheel was not universal (option D wrong). Hence option C.
