younger than those found farther from Africa. older than those found farther from Africa. younger than those found on other continents. older than those found in Africa.
younger than those found farther from Africa.
To complete the sentence, we need to determine whether Homo sapien fossil remains found nearest to Africa should be younger or older than those found farther from Africa.
The "out of Africa" theory suggests that anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) originated in Africa and then migrated to other parts of the world. According to this theory, the oldest Homo sapien fossil remains should be found in Africa, and as humans migrated away from Africa, the fossil remains found farther from Africa should be younger.
Therefore, the correct completion for the sentence would be:
If the "out of Africa" theory of human migration is correct, Homo sapien fossil remains found nearest to Africa should be older than those found farther from Africa.
