1/ Because mating occurred between humans and Neanderthals, researchers unanimously agree that they must have had peaceful interactions and politely shared resources. A. True B. False 2/ In regard to human origins, the Multiregional Continuity model explains that A. modern humans left Africa and continued to destroy the lives of all other hominins. B. modern humans evolved because of gene flow that occurred across Africa, Europe, and Asia. C. modern humans migrated to different regions, but never mated with the Neanderthals.

True or False: The fact that Neanderthals had greater behavioral flexibility than anatomically modern humans is what allowed Neanderthals to survive so long once they were in direct competition with anatomically modern humans. True False True or False: The fact that Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans coexisted on the planet for some amount of time is unusual because there was usually only one hominin species alive at any time for most of hominin evolution. True False True or False: Recent studies suggest that Neanderthals contributed small amounts of DNA to the genomes of modern human populations indigenous to Europe and East Asia, but not to the genomes of modern human populations indigenous to Africa. True False True or False: Studies of mitochondrial DNA have shown that all living human beings can trace their ancestry to populations living in Africa approximately 200,000 years ago. True False True or False: The disappearance of Neanderthals and the establishment of modern human populations in Europe is what we would expect because a cold-adapted species replaced a tropically-adapted species during an ice age. True False
