Question

Which of these is NOT something found in the fossil record that has been used by scientists to understand human evolutionary patterns?
(a)-Ardipithecus ramidus fossils showed evidence that this species could walk upright, but had a small brain.
(b)-The lack of an opposable big toe that indicates that Australopithecus probably lived on the ground instead of in trees artifacts at archeological sites that indicate that hominids began using simple tools approximately 2.6 million years ago.
(c)-Clay shards indicate that Homo erectus was likely the first species to use and control fire.
(d)-All of these are found in the fossil record and have been used by scientists to understand human evolution.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option (d)-"All of these are found in the fossil record and have been used by scientists to understand human evolution".

Explanation:

There is plenty of evidence that supports the proposal of how humans has evolved during past times. The fossil records that scientists has used understand human evolutionary patterns include the following. Ardipithecus ramidus bones  that revealed advances in upright walking, even tough they had a small brain that measured between 300 and 350 cm3. Australopithecus lack of an opposable big toe suggest that they lived on the ground instead of in trees. Homo erectus was the first species to use and control fire, as suggested by evidence of microscopic traces of wood ash.
