Fossils from __________ provide the best evidence for the multiregional model of human origins.
Asia and Australia
Compared to MSA stone tools, Upper Paleolithic tool technologies ____________________.
were more standardized
Stone tools assemblages from early African sites such as Mumba, Tanzania and Howieson's Poort, South Africa suggest ____________________.
that technologies evolved more slowly and over a longer period of time than originally thought

false
Comparisons of Neandertal and human DNA have all shown that ____________________.
Neandertals probably contributed no genes to modern human populations

At the current time, the bulk of fossil and molecular evidence strongly supports ____________________.
neither the multiregional nor the replacement model of human origins
