Question

Scientific progress requires that we clearly define the question we wish to answer. A clear, sharp definition of a scientific question is often the most difficult step in the process of discovery. Which of the following is the most accurate and complete description of the specific scientific question or problem we will address in this course?
a.
Humans have no individually unique properties; however, the specific combination of properties we have is not seen in other animals and these properties evolved very rapidly after our divergence from the other apes.

b.
Humans have specific objectively measurable properties no other animals have and we acquired these properties over a short evolutionary time period when other ape lineages were changing relatively little.

c.
Humans have no individually unique properties; however, the specific combination of properties we have is not seen in other animals and these properties evolved very slowly after our divergence of the other apes.

d.
Humans have objectively measurable properties no other animals have and we acquired these properties over a long period of slow change after our lineage's divergence from other ape lineages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Evolution is the process of the change of the species characteristics with the passage of time. The species that can adapt better in the environment has high chance of survival.

Human evolution has explained well in the evolution and involves human development from the ancestral primates. The human evolution has occurred at  the short time might occur due to some genetic changes or mutation. The evolution of the human chromosome 2 has occurred in relatively short period of time. This shows that human have specific objectively measurable properties.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
