How can archaeological and palaeontology findings of human evolution prove the out of Africa theory of human migration?
Archaeology is the study of 'human activity' and palaeontology is the study of 'fossils'. Meaning that whenever someone found bones/fossils, palaeontology has helped use DNA to find how long the bones/fossils have been there for. Archaeology has helped prove what palaeontology found out.
Why was Alfres Wegener's hypothesis rejected?
Alfred Wegener's theory was rejected because he could not prove how the continents actually moved. He showed evidence of fossils from Africa and South America, but still coul not prove the convection surrents going on underground. Other geologists did not believe in his theory just because he was a meteorologist, not a geologist like themselves.
