The pattern of genetic similarity and differences among humanpopulations allows us to reconstruct the evolutionary history ofour species. Label the lettered parts of your answer.
A. What taxonomic group would include L1 + L2 + L3, but notHomo sapiens neaderthalensis?
B. Where and when did that (L1 + L2 + L3) taxonomic grouporiginate?
C. Was there ever any interaction between (any part of the)taxonomic group you named above and Homo sapiensneaderthalensis; if so, what was the nature of thatinteraction?
D. Drawing on the information in your answers to parts A, B, andC, and on patterns of current human genetic diversity, explain thesequence and timing of events that led to the present situation,with a single kind of hominin occupying the whole planet.
