Question
Which of the following is not an adaptive pattern of early African hominins?
Group of answer choices
Speciation was occurring quite frequently.
Early hominin species had restricted ranges, thus it is likely they each exploited a small area allowing for rapid genetic diversification through genetic drift and natural selection and speciation.
Most of the species appear to have been tied to desert-arid habitats.
With the exception of early Homo, there are few evolutionary trends regarding increases in body size or encephalization.
All of the early hominins show an ape-like developmental pattern.
