Question
Which best characterizes the current understanding of the distribution pattern of
hominin fossils over time?
a) The oldest hominin fossils are found on multiple continents suggesting
multiple origins of lineages that eventually became unique lineages of the
genus Homo. Modern humans may have arisen from Neanderthals or
Denisovans before replacing those ancestors.
b) The oldest hominin fossils are found in the Middle East while the earliest
Homo fossils spread into Africa and into Europe (H. Neanderthalensis). Later
Homo sapiens first appeared in Africa and then subsequently spread to other
parts of the world
O c) The oldest hominin fossils are found in the Africa and spread to other part of
the world some of those ancient lineages evolved into Homo lineages on
different continents. One lineage became Homo sapiens which first appeared
in Africa before replacing the other species of Homo.
d) The oldest hominin fossils are found in Africa while the earliest Homo fossils
spread out of Africa to multiple locations while later Homo sapiens first
appeared in Africa and then subsequently also spread to other parts of the
world
