Regarding the "East Side Story" hypothesis, what would paleoanthropologists need to show that it was false?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Evidence of fossil apes and hominids in both East and West of the great rift valley

Explanation:

<em>The East Side Story hypothesis opined that a tectonic plate movement created a seismic split in the earth, thus deepened the rift valley and created a geographical barrier between the east and the west of the great rift valley. The barrier created a kind of geographical isolation between the ancestors of hominids, dividing them into two with each population taking different evolutionary paths. </em>

<em>Thereafter, the ancestors in the western side of the rift valley evolved into the chimpanzee's family while those in the eastern side ultimately evolved into humans. </em>

<u>Thus, providing the fossils of apes and that of hominids in both East and West sides of the great rift valley will render the hypothesis invalid.</u>
