Question

Choose either the Recent African Origin, Multiregional Continuity, or Assimilation model and describe why you think it is the best model for the evolution of modern Homo Sapiens. Be sure to discuss fossil and genetic evidence in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:                This question have to write pointswise,because it's easy to unnderstand you....

Multiregional Continuity:

• Multiregional theory: homo erectus left Africa 2 mya to become homo sapiens in different parts of the world.
• The Multiregional Continuity Model contends that after Homo erectus left Africa and dispersed into other portions of the Old World, regional populations slowly evolved into modern humans.

Fossil evidence:

• This theory is now highly discredited by many scholars due to the lack of supporting evidence.
• It was once thought that the fossil records from Australia and Asia could be understood as showing evidence for such regional continuity.
• The facial structure of the Dali cranium from China.

Genetic evidence :

• The most highly damaging critique of this hypothesis stems from recent genetic research.
• The multi-regional model proposes a shared genetic lineage between archaic Neanderthals and modern humans. Geneticists have proved this idea to be purely imaginative.
• Work on the Neander Valley skeleton and others have demonstrated that such a link in descent does not exist.
• They are best model for evolution because they are multiregionalists.
