In recent years, DNA sequences (nucleotide sequence) of mt-DNA and Y chromosomes were considered for the study of human evolution, because:
 

1. They are small, and therefore, easy to study
2. They are uniparental in origin and do not take part in recombination
3. Their structure is known in greater detail
4. They can be studied from the samples of fossil remains

There are two opposing views about the origin of modern man. According to one view, Homo erectus in Asia were the ancestors of modern man. A study of variation of DNA however suggested the African origin of modern man. What kind of observation of DNA variation could suggest this?

1.  Greater variation in Asia than in Africa
2.  Similar variations in Africa and Asia
3.  Variation only in Asia and no variation in Africa
4.  Greater variation in Africa than in Asia
