Consider that fossils of Homo erectus dating between 1.66 and 1.85 mya have been found scattered across Eastern Europe through C

hina and Southeast Asia and dating back to 2.4 mya in Africa. The earliest known specimens of anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Africa date back to roughly 200,000 years ago and 40,000 to 60,000 years ago across Europe and Asia, with some at 115,000 years ago in India. Additionally, Homo neanderthalensis was present across Europe by 150,000 years ago and then spread into western Asia. If there were no evidence indicating the presence of any other early Homo species in Europe, which of the following hypotheses might be supported by this information? a. Homo neanderthalensis is a possible common ancestor to Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. b. Homo erectus is a possible common ancestor to Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens. c. Homo sapiens is a possible common ancestor to Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis. d. Homo floresiensis is the most likely common ancestor to Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo sapiens.

The correct option is option b that is<em> Homo erectus</em> is the common ancestor of<em> Homo neanderthalensis</em> and<em> Homo sapiens.</em>

The traits for blood type and Rh are the result of the presence or absence of particular on the erythrocytes.g
just olya [345]

Answer: Antigens

Explanation: The ABO system of blood grouping is based on the basis of the type of antigens that are present in the red blood cells. Erythrocytes is another name for the red blood cells. Antigens are molecules that are capable of eliciting immune response. There are two types of antigens: antigen A and B. Blood type A has only antigen A, blood type B has only antigen B, blood type AB has both antigen A and B while blood type O has no antigen (neither A nor B antigen).

Similarly, Rh trait is determined by the presence or absence of rhesus antigen in the erythrocytes. Rhesus antigen is an antigen first discovered in rhesus monkey. Rh+ indicates the presence of rhesus antigen in the red blood cells while Rh- indicates the absence of rhesus antigen in the red blood cells.

Read the paragraphs and answer the question that follows.
Artemon [7]
We can infer of the two paragraphs that Geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly, and that the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disaster.

The excerpt is telling us that "the <span>earthquakes caused a lot of damage, as well as dramatic changes to the local ecosystem", which is supporting the conclusion: "geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly." 
But is also telling us that "</span>The slip caused several rock formations and structures to develop cracks. However there was no large-scale disaster or disruption.", which is supporting the conclusion:  the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disaster."
