Was the last question multi regional or out of Africa?

I wasnt even sure how to use the evidence. Couln't even relate it to the theory properly. Btw, what did people write for the very last question (timing and what ever the other thing was).

What did you guys put for how neurons die - I said the membrane of the axon is pierced, creating a hole and thereby causing an influx of sodium ions into the axon and causing potassium ions to rush out of axon, disrupting action potential / action potential cannot be generated leading to the death of the neuron. Is this correct?

Overall, the exam was alright, about the same difficulty as last year. But some of the questions were really cryptic - couldn't even tell for sure what the question wanted.
