According to the _____,Modern Humans Originated In,and Migrated Out Of,East

Question

According to the _____,modern humans originated in,and migrated out of,East Africa.
A) haplotype data of mitochondrial DNA sequences
B) haplotype data of Y chromosome sequences
C) out-of-Africa model
D) multiregional model
E) fossil record

Accepted Answer

The Out-of-Africa model posits that modern humans originated in East Africa and then migrated to other parts of the world, while the multiregional model suggests that modern humans arose independently in different regions of the world. Haplotype data of mitochondrial DNA sequences and Y chromosome sequences provide support for the Out-of-Africa model, but the most direct evidence comes from the fossil record, which also supports the idea that modern humans first evolved in Africa. However, the best choice based on the options given is C, as it directly references the Out-of-Africa model.
