The new image of Stone Age people as systematic hunters of large animals, rather than merely scavenging for meat, have emerged from the examination of tools found in Germany, including three wooden spears that archaeologists believe to be about 400,000 years old.



A. merely scavenging for meat, have emerged from the examination of tools found in Germany, including

B. as merely scavenging for meat, have emerged from examining tools found in Germany, which include

C. as mere meat scavengers, has emerged from examining tools found in Germany that includes

D. mere scavengers of meat, has emerged from the examination of tools found in Germany, which includes

    E. mere scavengers of meat, has emerged from the examination of tools found in Germany, including

正确答案是E。句子结构为什么不是the new imagine of……as  systematic hunters of large animals， rather than as……？这样不是更对称么？？？

Q:句子结构为什么不是the new imagine of……as  systematic hunters of large animals， rather than as……？这样不是更对称么？？？

不错，加了rather than as 更顺眼更完整，然而不加亦语法无错，因为rather than 不如一些固定搭配both……and……，either……or……等严格，因其平行界限非严格限定


此处设有陷阱，更顺眼的C却犯了严重的主谓一致性错误：
from examining tools found in Germany that includes
includes主语发出者为复数tools


反观正确选项中：
mere scavengers of meat, has emerged from the examination of tools found in Germany, (which are) including
解决了主谓一致性问题

关于including的解释，有些疑问， "including" is an exception to the usual comma -ing rules.
the best way to think about "including" is to consider it a preposition, i.e., don't think about it as a -ing construction at all. usually, comma + "including" refers to the noun or noun phrase that is located before the comma, as it does in the correct answer here.
