There have been three major hypotheses to explain the evolution of modern Homo sapiens:
1) The African replacement
2) Hybridization and assimilation
3) Multiregional evolution
Discuss evidence supporting and/or refuting the three hypotheses, and indicate which is best.
Multiregional evolution
-The multiregional hypothesis, multiregional evolution, or polycentric hypothesis is a scientific model that provides an alternative explanation to the more widely acceptedd out of Africa modl of monogenesis for the pattern of human evolution. This hypothesis states that independent multiple origins( Model D) or shared multiregional evolution with continuous gene flow between continental populations (Model C) occured in the million years since Homo erectus came out of Africa.

4) Briefly explain each of the following hypotheses: - The African replacement - Hybridization and assimilation - Multiregional evolution Make sure to evidence that helps support or refute each of the hypothesis, indicating which one is the best.
Until recently, there were two competing theories about the origin of our species- "modern Homo sapiens". The first (single African origin) is that all modern humans descended from a recent ancestor in Africa, less than 200,000 years ago, and that our ancestors replaced the archaic human species they found in their migrations, including Neanderthals and Denisovans. (In the last few years evidence from nuclear genomes of fossil humans has indicated that there was limited interbreeding between the ancestors of modern...
There are two hypotheses to explain the pattern of Human Evolution: 1) Progressive Evolution of a Single Lineage ; 2) Evolutionary Radiation Which of these hypotheses are supported by evidence, and briefly explain why?

QUESTION 1 Which of the following is (are) correct? The scientific name Homo sapiens indicate human beings are in the species is homo, while the genus is sapien. @ Woese-Fox proposed the present domain system. Natural selection is one mechanism leading to evolution. The sugar ribose is found in DNA but not in RNA. QUESTION 2 Some pProteins will denature if they are exposed to conditions like high heat, acidity or alkalinity. Which protein structure will be affected when these...
1.Answer the following questions based on the assigned article "Human Hybrids" by Michael Hammer. a. Initial analyses of mitochondrial DNA did not find any evidence of interbreeding between Neandertals and modern humans. We now know, however, that they did interbreed. Why might these early mtDNA studies have found this confusing result? b.According to the article by Hammer, contemporary genetic analyses, showing that Neandertals and Archaic humans made at least some contribution to the modern human gene pool, favor a Hybridization...
Answer one of these three questions. 1] Name and describe the 3 major evolutionary models, including their associated researchers, species, locations, evidence, time line etc. 2] Describe 3 traits unique to the crania, dentition and post crania for these species; Australopithecus aferensis, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neandertalensis and Homo sapiens. 3] Describe in detail the environmental situation and cultural inventions and capabilities concerning Homo erectus leaving Africa.
