The history of hominin evolution demonstrates ________.
A) unrelated traits (that is, characters of skulls and hips/feet) evolve together
B) unrelated traits can evolve at different rates
C) the decrease in rainfall favored maintaining the ability to climb trees
D) the increase in rainfall favored the ability to walk upright

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
