In 2004, scientists announced the discovery of the fossil remains of some extremely short early humans on the Indonesian island

of Flores. The new species has been named Homo floresiensis. One hypothesis is that H. floresiensis evolved from Homo erectus, another early human species. How did a population of H. erectus become isolated on this remote island.

Answer: The most accepted guess is: By bamboo rafts.

Explanation:

There are two hypotheses.

The first is that they arrived on Flores as Homo erectus and then evolved to Homo floresiensis. The second is that they were already Homo floresiensis when they arrived. This second one is the more accepted hypothesis because it would take organization and language to accomplish this technological water transportation feat. Homo erectus is not known to have developed speech.

Now at the time this transport was estimated to have happened, 100000 years ago, the islands of Komodo and Flores were joined and visible from the mainland. Together they constituted a 19km wide straight visible that could be easily seen from the mainland. The Homo floresiensis tribes built bamboo rafts, or possibly some other floating apparatus made if wood, and sailed there. The islands then progressively drifted apart, isolating them.

PS: It is important to note that some things may have drove them there such as famine, violence, etc.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

There was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.

Explanation:

Bacteria that use light for energy requirements mean that they get their energy from photosynthesis and transferring energy through the molecules.

Bacteria play a major part in the reductive and oxidative cycle of the sulfur which is mediated by the help of photosynthetic bacteria, so the sulfur or sulfur compounds are major requirements for their growth in the habitat or the medium.

Thus, the correct answer would be- There was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.
