Solution

The characteristic that species classified as Homo should NOT necessarily share is:

a. A large, protruding face.

This is because, as humans evolved, our faces became less protruding and more flat, especially when compared to other primates. This is largely due to changes in our diet and the development of tools, which reduced the need for large, protruding jaws and teeth. The other characteristics - exploiting diverse environments, having a relatively large brain size, and smaller teeth - are all traits associated with the Homo genus.
