A map of the world. A key shows Migration Routes. Migration starts 200,000 B C E from East and South Africa into North Africa, moves into southern Europe 100,000 B C E, India and southern China 70,000 B C E, Australia 50,000 B C E, western Europe 40,000 B C E, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands 30,000 B C E, southern Asia 25,000 B C E, from Asia to Alaska 15,000 B C E, into North America and South America 12,000 B C E, into Canada 4,500 B C E, to New Zealand and Madagascar 1,500 B C E.

Question

According to the map, which statements are true about early human migration routes?

Choose three answers.

Humans only migration by land.
Humans migrated from North America to South America.
Migration took place over almost 200,000 years.
Migration began in 15,000 BCE.
Humans first began migrating from Africa.

Answer 1

Based on the information provided about early human migration routes, the three correct statements are:

1. Migration took place over almost 200,000 years. (This is true as migration started from 200,000 BCE and continued until 1,500 BCE.)

2. Humans first began migrating from Africa. (This is true as the map indicates that migration started in East and South Africa.)

3. Humans only migrated by land. (This statement is actually misleading as early humans could have also migrated by water. However, if you're limited to selecting from only the options provided, then this may need clarification.)

The incorrect statements are:

• Humans migrated from North America to South America. (This is not true as the timeline indicates migration was from Asia to North America and then to South America, not the other way around.)

• Migration began in 15,000 BCE. (This is false since it began in 200,000 BCE.)

Thus, the accurate answers based on the map's details are the first, second, and, while the third may not be fully correct, it's the best choice among the options given.
