What was, until recently, the earliest evidence of the use of bows and arrows in Europe was discovered in peat bogs in Northern Europe and was dated to approximately 12,000 years ago. However, this year, a team of archaeologists unearthed more than 300 tiny, intricate arrowheads in the Rhône Valley. The arrowheads were found in Grotte Mandrin, a cave now believed to have likely been inhabited by early modern humans about 54,000 years ago. Striation marks on the arrowheads imply that they were used. More generally, they call into question the assumption held by many archeologists that early modern humans arrived in Europe 40,000 years ago.According to the text, why was the discovery of the arrowheads significant? The recently discovered arrowheads represent the largest collection of early arrowheads ever discovered in Europe.eliminateThe recently discovered arrowheads indicate that early humans arrived in Europe much earlier than previously thought.eliminate The recently discovered arrowheads have striation marks that suggest early modern humans struggled to survive in the Rhône Valley.eliminateThe recently discovered arrowheads' location in Grotte Mandrin implies that early modern humans were better suited for survival in the peat bogs of Northern Europe.

Archaeological evidence has established that Homo sapiens, or modern humans, appeared around 300,000 years ago. Ancient hominins of the genus Homo, or early humans, first appeared around 2.3 million years ago and are believed to have been nomadic hunter-gatherers, unlike Homo sapiens who are believed to have been the first humans to settle and cultivate land. Recently, a team of archaeologists led by Larry Barham discovered two logs with notches cut by stone tools dated to be about 476,000 years old. Given that the notches in these logs indicate early building, Barham’s team believes the logs could suggest that ------ Which choice most logically completes the text?Homo sapiens may have existed well before previous archeological evidence suggests.eliminateancient hominins were unable to engineer buildings and lived nomadic lives.eliminateancient hominins may have settled land and engineered buildings well before the appearance of Homo sapiens.eliminateancient hominins and Homo sapiens lived in nomadic hunter-gatherer communities together.
