Using your knowledge of the fossil record and the genetic evidence, which model of modern human origins is best supported by the current data.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Based on the current fossil record and the latest genetic evidence, the partial replacement model best supports the data. The Partial Replacement model argues for a recent African origin and migration for Homo sapiens with a moderate amount of interbreeding with premodern population groups. (Fossil evidence confirms an African origin and the existence of hybrids. Genetic evidence confirms a recent African origin and also confirms that interbreeding did occur outside of Africa.)
