Question

imagine that archaeologists found one of the following new pieces of evidence. which one suggests that the theory that early humans came to the americas from the siberian region is not true? a. archaeologists discovered signs of green landscapes and bodies of water in the regions where the early humans from siberia first landed. b. archaeologists discovered the presence of animals such as deer and rabbits before the arrival of early humans from siberia. c. archaeologists discovered barren land and infertile soil in the americas before the arrival of early humans from siberia. d. archaeologists discovered evidence of travel between asia and the americas before the arrival of early humans from siberia.

Explanation:

To disprove the theory that early humans came to the Americas from Siberia, we need evidence that humans (or travel between the continents) existed before the proposed Siberian arrival. Option A supports the theory by showing a viable landing area. Option B is irrelevant, as animal presence does not contradict human migration origins. Option C also does not contradict the theory, as barren land would not rule out Siberian migration. Option D provides evidence of transcontinental travel prior to the supposed Siberian arrival, meaning humans could have reached the Americas through another route or earlier, undermining the theory.

Answer:

D. Archaeologists discovered evidence of travel between Asia and the Americas before the arrival of early humans from Siberia.
