Between 6 and 7 million years ago, the lineage that led to hominins split from the lineage that led to chimpanzees. Which of the following best describes one of the ways that hominins evolved? A. Hominins evolved a smaller skull and smaller brain capable of designing tools. B. Hominins evolved an opposable thumb that enabled hands to grasp objects. C. Hominins evolved shoulder bones that enabled them to walk faster on all four limbs. D. Hominins evolved more chromosomes that enabled them to reason and solve problems.

B. Hominins evolved an opposable thumb that enabled hands to grasp objects.  

Explanation:

Prehistoric hominids evolved opposable thumbs earlier than bipedal walking. The opposable thumbs have been critical during evolution because this position enables the digits to grasp and handle objects.

volcanoes (an event in the geosphere) release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. these particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). rainfall (hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (biosphere).
