Question

Which statement(s)) is/are true about the movius line (choose all that apply)? group of answer choices

a. the movius line marks the geographical division of early homo and homo erectus beyond the movius line to the Ne, there are few acheulean tools found in the archaeological record.
B. hominins below the movius line are capable of more complex culture because they have abundance evidence of stone tools.
C. the movius line marks where bamboo grows in abundance (ne of the line) and H.
D. erectus in this area might have preferred bamboo tools to complex stone tools

Answer 1

The correct options are A and B. The Movius Line marks the geographical division between early Homo and Homo erectus, with fewer Acheulean tools found beyond the line. Hominins below the Movius Line do not have more complex culture based on an abundance of stone tools.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Movius Line is a concept proposed by archaeologist Hallam Movius that refers to a geographical division based on the presence or absence of Acheulean stone tools. Acheulean tools are more complex and are associated with Homo erectus, an early human species. The Movius Line marks the boundary where Acheulean tools are less common in the archaeological record, suggesting a cultural and technological difference between populations.

Option A is true because the Movius Line does mark the geographical division between early Homo and Homo erectus, with fewer Acheulean tools found beyond the line.

Option B is not true because it incorrectly states that hominins below the Movius Line have more complex culture based on an abundance of stone tools. The Movius Line actually indicates the opposite, with fewer Acheulean tools found beyond the line.

Option C is not true because the Movius Line does not mark the distribution of bamboo. This statement is unrelated to the concept of the Movius Line.

Option D is not true because there is no evidence to suggest that Homo erectus in the area marked by the Movius Line preferred bamboo tools over complex stone tools.

Therefore, the correct options are A and B.
