- Some genetic studies suggest that the most recent common ancestor of Homo sapiens that lived outside of Africa spread from Africa about 50,000years ago. Compare this date to the dates of the fossil record. Can both the genetic results and the dates ascribe to the fossils be correct? Justify.arrow_forwardExplain why it is difficult to use carbon-14 dating on 100-million-year-old dinosaur fossilsarrow_forwardA scientist has a fossil that was found in a layer of rock close to Earth’s surface. He believes that the fossil is around 12,000 years old. Which method would best allow the scientist to confirm the actual age of the fossil? finding another fossil in a deeper layer of rock finding another fossil in the same layer of rock using carbon/nitrogen absolute dating using potassium/argon absolute datingarrow_forward
- Scientists find an artifact next to an index fossil. What can they conclude about the unknown age of the artifact? a The artifact is older than the index fossil. b The artifact is younger than the index fossil. c The artifact is approximately the same age as the index fossil. d The artifact's age is not related to that of the index fossil.arrow_forwardAccording to "Homo naledi – New Questions on Human Evolution ", what did scientists NOT find at the site that they probably expected to find? A.No other hominin species at the site B.No evidence of fire, tools, artifacts, or other animals (except 1 bird) C.No skulls or craniums at the site D.No evidence of art or jewelryarrow_forwardOne type of fish fossil is found only in a rock layer near the bottom of a canyon, while a different kind of fish fossil is found only in a rock layer 4,000 feet higher, near the top of the canyon. Which statement would a scientist most likely offer to explain this situation? A.) The fish in the lower layer lived in the deep sea. While the other fish lived in shallow water. B.) The fish in the upper layer lived a healthier life than the other fish. C.) The rock in the lower layer is denser than the rock in the upper layer D.) The rock in the upper layer must have formed in freshwater E.) The fish in the upper layer lived more recently than the other fish.
