Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While paleoanthropologists may disagree about the exact lineage of our ancestors, there is agreement that there were at least two separate hominin lines between 3 million and 1 million years ago, including the Australopithecus and Paranthropus lines. This is well-supported by the fossil record. Option B is incorrect because there were several extinctions of early hominin species. Option C is also incorrect because evolution is a fundamental component of speciation. Option D is not necessarily true as the field of paleoanthropology continues to evolve and new discoveries may lead to revised conclusions.
