Human evolution
Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years.
One of the earliest defining human traits, bipedalism -- the ability to walk on two legs -- evolved over 4 million years ago. Other important human characteristics -- such as a large and complex brain, the ability to make and use tools, and the capacity for language -- developed more recently. Many advanced traits -- including complex symbolic expression, art, and elaborate cultural diversity -- emerged mainly during the past 100,000 years.
Humans are primates. Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa -- chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called “pygmy chimpanzees”) and gorillas -- share a common ancestor that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.
Most scientists currently recognize some 15 to 20 different species of early humans. Scientists do not all agree, however, about how these species are related or which ones simply died out. Many early human species -- certainly the majority of them – left no living descendants. Scientists also debate over how to identify and classify particular species of early humans, and about what factors influenced the evolution and extinction of each species.
Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, between 1.5 million and 1 million years. Species of modern humans populated many parts of the world much later. For instance, people first came to Australia probably within the past 60,000 years and to the Americas within the past 30,000 years or so. The beginnings of agriculture and the rise of the first civilizations occurred within the past 12,000 years.

Answer:
When a household installs a dual flush toilet, the water is mainly conserved by limiting its consumption and thus eliminates the unnecessary loss of water. #2 is the answer
Explanation:
A dual flush toilet is similar to a standard toilet but includes some water conserving features.
Answer:
The Clean Water Act (CWA) can be considered as one of the effective program which impacted the water quality in the United States. Under this Act, quality standards for surface water were generated.
This Act has set wastewater standards for the industries and it ensures that industries do not pollute the clean water. The Clean Water Act (ACT) made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant in waters and set a fixed amount for it. Beyond that amount, polluting water is considered to be illegal.
Which of what? I need more information to decipher that.
Answer:
The correct answer is : Overconfidence.
Explanation:
A person who thinks his or her sense of direction or judgement is more accurate than it is actually is is known as overconfident, and this phenomenon is known as the overconfidence.
In this case, Jonah and Cathy attempted most of the question of the exam and secured less than 60% on the exam which suggests they have less knowledge than they thought they know, it is a sign of overconfidence.
Thus, the correct answer is overconfidence.
