O they were much larger O they were committed to a completely terrestrial habitat O they were strictly vegetarian O they used more complex stone tools O after 2 mya, there is less diversity among these hominins that in predecessors

Which statement is a tenet of the out of Africa hypothesis for the origin of modern humans? O O O O Modern humans evolved in Africa and then migrated throughout the world, replacing earlier human populations. O Modern humans evolved in Eurasia and migrated to Africa, driving resident populations of early humans out of Africa and resulting in their extinction. Homo erectus populations migrated out of Africa and interbred with Homo neanderthalensis populations in Eurasia to give rise to modern humans.

In studying recent fossils of the genus Homo, such as Cro-Magnon,biologists have determined that modern humans have not undergonemuch biological evolution in the past 50,000 years. Rather, culturalanthropologists argue that cultural evolution has been far moreimportant than biological evolution in the recent history of modernhumans. What do they mean by this? Support your argument withsome examples.
