Choose three answers.They use the results of DNA analysis to identify early humans’ diseases.They use the results of radiocarbon dating to understand how long ago early humans died.They read books and summarize what other historians have reported about early humans.They revise ideas about early humans when scientific instruments provide new information.They describe the images of early cave paintings and the symbols early humans used.

Answer
A
They use the results of DNA analysis to identify early humans’ diseases.
B
They use the results of radiocarbon dating to understand how long ago early humans died.
C
They read books and summarize what other historians have reported about early humans.
D
They revise ideas about early humans when scientific instruments provide new information.
E
They describe the images of early cave paintings and the symbols early humans used.

Explanation

DNA analysis can reveal evidence about early humans’ health, including diseases, so A describes a use of technology. Radiocarbon dating estimates how long ago remains died, making B correct. Historians also update their ideas when improved scientific instruments provide new evidence, as in D. Reading books or describing cave art may help historians, but those activities do not specifically depend on technology in the way the question asks.
