1) Download this handoutPreview the document. This handout has images of skulls from the locations that we are discussing. It also has a summary of the evidence that we have from each region and a short description of each of the models. You will need the images and the data table to complete your evaluation of each dispersal model.

2) For each model, indicate whether the evidence on the handout matches what we would expect to see if the model were an accurate explanation of modern human dispersal. Please use these lists of what we should expect to see to craft your responses so that I know you are looking at all the evidence. Ultimately I am looking for three paragraphs (one for each model). Each paragraph should contain responses to each entry on the "what we should expect" list for that model. So, for your Out-of-Africa model paragraph, you will start by looking at the handout to determine whether or not the oldest anatomically modern human fossils are found in Africa and no
