READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage carefully and select the one correct answer from the four choices (A, B, C, or, D)
Line There are two main hypotheses when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern
humans. The ‘Out of Africa’ theory holds that homo sapiens burst onto the scene as a new species
around 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa and subsequently replaced archaic humans such as
the Neandertals. The other model, known as multi-regional evolution or regional continuity, posits
5 far more ancient and diverse roots for our kind. Proponents of this view believe that homo sapiens
arose in Africa some 2 million years ago and evolved as a single species spread across the Old World,
with populations in different regions linked through genetic and cultural exchange.
Of these two models, Out of Africa, which was originally developed based on fossil evidence,
and supported by much genetic research, has been favored by the majority of evolution scholars.
10 The vast majority of these genetic studies have focused on DNA from living populations, and
although some small progress has been made in recovering DNA from Neandertal that appears to
support multi-regionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA from early human fossils is quite
slim at present. Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human origins debate.
Another means of gathering theoretical evidence is through bones. Examinations of early
15 modern human skulls from Central Europe and Australia dated to between 20,000 and 30,000 years
old have suggested that both groups apparently exhibit traits seen in their Middle Eastern and African
predecessors. But the early modern specimens from Central Europe also display Neandertal traits,
and the early modern Australians showed affinities to archaic Homo from Indonesia. Meanwhile, the
debate among paleoanthropologists continues, as supporters of the two hypotheses challenge the
20 evidence and conclusions of each other.
