Answer;

C) the amount of time that the two species have been evolving apart

Explanation;

-Scientists can use relaxed-clock methods to deal with variation in the rate of the molecular clock. By measuring the patterns of evolutionary rate variation among organisms, they can also gain valuable insight into the biological processes that determine how quickly the molecular clock ticks.

- The molecular clock hypothesis states that DNA and protein sequences evolve at a rate that is relatively constant over time and among different organisms. A direct consequence of this constancy is that the genetic difference between any two species is proportional to the time since these species last shared a common ancestor.

15,000 years ago, when humans were foragers and hunters, what characterized daily life? What were humans eating, and where and h
lisabon 2012 [21]

1. 15,000 years ago the humans were still hunter-gatherers. Their daily lives were largely based around one thing, finding enough food to survive through  the next few days. This means that they had to constantly be on the move, be it for hunting animals, or for finding rich places with eatable plants. There was lot of walking, running, and scouting involved every day. It was a lifestyle of ''living through the day''.

2. During this period of time, the diet of the humans was consisted of animals they hunted, fish, and plants. There were differences from region to region though, so the people that lived along the coastline based their diet on marine animals, the ones that were living in colder regions were eating mostly meat, while the ones living in forested areas or grasslands had combination of plants and meat. The lifestyle in general was moving from place to place, be it on a daily basis, weakly, or seasonally, depending on the conditions. Some of these people were making small shelters, some of which were retractable and they were moving them with them, while others were using caves.

3. There are many difference between the forager peoples and the agriculturalists. The foragers were nomads, thus they were moving very often from one place to another, while the agriculturalists were having a settled lifestyle. The nomads very often had bad injuries which were often fatal, usually because of hunting, while the agriculturalists had much better health because they had much safer lifestyle. The foragers were not able to produce their own food, but instead they were relying on mother nature, while the agriculturalists were producing their own food and had the food problem solved.
