Question

6 multiple choice 0.5 points the domestication of the dog illustrates the strong human - animal bond that was an important adaptation during the time of early hominin evolution. occurred only after a key mutation that turned dogs into more docile creatures. likely occurred in two phases, the first beginning in china. occurred only in the eastern hemisphere. ensured, worldwide, that all early states had strong enough animals to help plow fields.

Explanation:

• The claim about a single key mutation is incorrect; dog domestication involved gradual behavioral and genetic changes, not one mutation.
• Current evidence does not support a two-phase origin starting in China; origins are linked to Eurasian gray wolves across multiple regions.
• Dog domestication also occurred in the Western Hemisphere with ancient dog populations, so it was not limited to the Eastern Hemisphere.
• Dogs were not used for plowing fields; this role was filled by larger animals like oxen, so this statement is false.
• The human-animal bond formed through dog domestication was a key adaptive advantage for early hominins, aiding in hunting, protection, and resource gathering.

Answer:

illustrates the strong human-animal bond that was an important adaptation during the time of early hominin evolution.
