Which of the following is a characterization of change in technology and hominin species suggested by Foley and Lahr?
A) Technological change happened slowly and was mainly genetically controlled, while new species arose quickly.
B) Most happened outside of Europe, with new technologies and hominins arriving in Europe long after they arose mainly in Africa.
C) The various hominins seen in Europe evolved slowly over time within Europe, while technologies arrived abruptly during glacial maxima, mainly from Asia.
D) Europe was the source of most change in both technology and morphology, with these changes spreading first to Asia and then later to Africa.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Foley and Lahr suggest that most technological change and new hominin species arose mainly in Africa and then spread to other parts of the world, including Europe. They also note that there were periods of abrupt change in technology, such as during glacial maxima, but that the evolution of hominins was a slower process. Therefore, option B is the most accurate characterization.
