Based on fossilized evidence, there are scientific claims made about the evolution of certain species. If a scientist studying t
he fossils of a specific species had a hypothesis other than what was currently accepted, what steps should be taken to have the alternative hypothesis considered? (2 points) Since the original hypothesis is untestable given the circumstances, another one is more likely to be correct. If an alternative hypothesis sounds plausible it could be used in place of the original hypothesis. The scientist should publish the alternative hypothesis in a popular magazine to gain public support. It is useful to test alternative hypotheses and know that they are incorrect.
