In Swartkans territory archaeologists discovered charred bone fragments dating back 1 million years. Analysis of fragments, which came from a variety of animals, showed that they had been heated to temperatures no higher than those produced in experimental campfiresmade from branches of white stinkwood, the most common tree around swartkans.
Which of the foll, if true, would, together with the info above, provide the best basis for the claim that the charred bone fragments are evidence of the use of fire by early hominids?
a. The white stinkwood tree is used for building material by present-day inhabitants of swartkans
b. Forest fires can heat wood to a range of temeratures that occur in campfires
c. The bone fragments were fitted together by the archaeologists to form the complete skeleton of diff, animals
d. Apart from the Swartkans discovery, there is reliable evidence that early hominids used fire as many as 500,000 years ago
e. The bone fragments were found in several distict layers of limestone that contained primitive cutting tools known to have been used by early hominids
Doubt:Option D which shows that hominids were aware of fire should stengthen the argument .As compared to Option E which makes no reference of knowledge of fire by hominids.
