| 3. | Homo sapiens | 4. | Australopithecus |
The most apparent changes during the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens is traced in:

There are two opposing views about the origin of modern man. According to one view, Homo erectus in Asia were the ancestors of modern man. A study of variation of DNA, however, suggested the African origin of modern man. What kind of observation of DNA variation could suggest?
| 1. | Greater variation in Asia than in Africa. |
| 2. | Similar variation in Africa and Asia. |
| 3. | Variation only in Asia and no variation in Africa. |
| 4. | Greater variation in Africa than in Asia. |
All the following are true regarding Homo erectus except:
1. Fossils were discovered in Java
2. Lived around 2.5 mya
3. Had a brain capacity of about 900 cc
4. Probably ate meat
