The three correct characteristics of Homo sapiens from the options provided are:
1. **Had larger brains than their predecessors** - correct
2. **Used complex language** - correct
3. **Cooperated in hunting and in building shelter** - correct
The other options, such as being the first to bury their dead, using stone tools, having strong jaws and teeth for tearing meat, and "Lucy" (who is actually a specimen of Australopithecus afarensis, not Homo sapiens), do not accurately define Homo sapiens specifically.
