I wrote that he got into a fight, resulting in his death (mummified from snow/ice preservation)

Same, I wrote a fight between him and other organisms (predators or family) which may have left blood over his clothes which he lost thus his death.

Ugh some questions on SA were f*cked...

For the bipedalism one, did people put tools and saves energy from more efficient travel --> more migration?
Also is it ok if I wrote nucleic acid and polypeptide instead of DNA and histone protein? It was asking for macromolecules in chromosomes.

@Shivaji

I think it was A - migration.

yeh i wrote nucleic acid and polypeptide as well, hopefully vcaa doesn't get too picky just about that...

as for the bipedalism, i wrote the same except instead of efficient travel i said that it allowed them to run away from predators easier... but idk

it was defs a tough paper imo
