QUESTION 51

According to the films watched in this class, one of the biggest misconceptions about human evolution is:

that it has occurred only over the last 2,000 years.

that it has happened in a straight line, with each species evolving into more advanced species.

that evolution is a hoax because we can’t adequately date fossils – perhaps they are not very old.

that is has not made every chimp into a human.
