The ability to analyze genomes — sequences of dna — has grown more and more sophisticated. scientists are able to examine the biological past in finer detail and with greater accuracy. a new analysis of the genetic links between early humans and chimpanzees has led to a hypothesis that the two species diverged more recently than previous estimates indicated. this gives credence to a very startling new theory: the ancestors of humans and chimpanzees might have hybridized to produce the lineage from which modern humans eventually developed.

what can be inferred from the statements above?

(a) hybridized species combine the best of both lineages.
(b) political and religious pressures will affect the course of future research.
(c) future research will enable scientists to determine the exact characteristics of this hybrid ancestor of modern man.
(d) earlier genome analysis established genetic links between early humans and chimpanzees.
(e) human dna is more complex than that of chimpanzees.

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
