Answer 1

A scientist found a hominid fossil that appeared anatomically to be that of Homo habilis. It was found, however, in a rock layer that suggests it is only about 150,000 years old. Based on this, he wants to publish a paper asserting the fossil shows that Homo habilis lived much longer than thought and was contemporary with early Homo sapiens. Which of the following should he do before he publishes?
Answer







Convince other scientists to support his conclusions about the fossil.








Find out how old the fossil actually is using radioactive dating.








Look for evidence of tool use at the site where he found the fossil.








Look for Homo sapiens fossils in the rock strata directly above the Homo habilis.
