Question 10 Which data most strongly supports the "Out-of-Africa" hypothesis? A Fossils found in Africa are generally smaller than those found on other continents. DNA sequences from extant African hominins are more diverse than extant hominins from other continents. The synapomorphy of hominins (bipedalism) indicates that ancient humans walked out of Africa. DNA sequences from extinct hominins are more diverse than extant hominins.

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
